of schools

75% of schools are not equipped with proper ventilation systems (1)

CO2 reduction

Installing an air exchanger in classrooms can reduce CO2 levels by up to 30%

improved learning performance

CO2 reduction improves children's performance by up to 12%.

A good student is one who breathes healthy air

With a ventilation system that increases airflow from 2.5 to 17.5 CFM per student**, students' learning abilities improve:

  • +15% in word memorization
  • +8% in image memorization

Conversely, when the air quality is poor, cognitive abilities are also poor

  • Absenteeism rises from 10% to 20% if CO2 levels exceed 1400ppm***.
