● THE SCIENCE

Why does indoor air quality matter in schools?

Indoor air quality directly affects how students think, how often they get sick, and how well they perform, making it one of the highest-leverage investments a school can make.

target

Sharper focus


High CO₂ and stale air drain attention and energy from a classroom. Airthings monitors CO₂, temperature, and humidity in real time, so teachers stay sharp, students stay engaged, and facilities teams stop chasing "too hot, too cold" tickets.

Healthier students


Clean indoor air reduces exposure to viruses, mold, allergens, and fine particulates that drive absenteeism. Smart IAQ infrastructure is increasingly recognized as a critical investment for both student health and aging school buildings.

Better outcomes


Research consistently links improved indoor air to measurable gains in cognitive function. Schools that monitor and manage IAQ see better concentration, stronger test performance, and improved overall school rankings.

● FROM INSTALL TO INSIGHT

How airthings works in a school

Three steps from sensor to decision: the same workflow for one classroom or ten thousand.

step_1

Deploy


Battery-powered sensors mount in minutes. No drilling, no wiring, no disruption to lessons.
step_2

Monitor


Live data flows into a single dashboard, by classroom, building, or district. Anyone with permission can see what's happening, anywhere.

step_3

Act


Custom alerts and exportable reports turn raw data into decisions: when to ventilate, where to upgrade HVAC, and how to invest next.


● THE PROOF

Trusted by schools and districts

From individual universities to province-wide rollouts, schools choose Airthings to make air quality visible and actionable.

● FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is indoor air quality (IAQ)? Indoor air quality refers to the condition of the air inside a building, including levels of CO₂, particulate matter, humidity, temperature, and pollutants. In schools, IAQ directly affects student focus, health, and academic performance.
What CO₂ level is considered safe in a classroom? Outdoor CO₂ levels are around 420 ppm. Most guidelines recommend keeping classroom CO₂ below 1,000 ppm to maintain alertness and cognitive performance. Levels above are commonly associated with drowsiness, headaches, and reduced concentration.
How does air quality affect student performance? Research links poor IAQ (especially elevated CO₂ and particulate matter) to lower concentration, more absences, and reduced test scores. Improving ventilation and monitoring air quality is one of the most cost-effective interventions for improving learning outcomes.
What does Airthings measure in schools? Airthings sensors track CO₂, fine particulates (PM 2.5 and PM 1), humidity, temperature, VOCs, radon, and pressure, giving a complete picture of classroom air quality. In addition, we have virtual sensors that calculate virus risk, mold risk, occupancy and ventilation rate based on these sensors.
Does Airthings work with our existing HVAC system? Yes, most likely. Airthings integrates with most building management systems and HVAC platforms, providing the IAQ data layer that informs ventilation decisions without requiring system replacement.
How long does installation take? Most sensors install in under five minutes per classroom. Sensors are battery-powered and require no drilling or wiring, so deployment can happen during a single school break or even between class periods.
