A study from the University of Albany analyzed the effects of school HVAC systems on student outcomes over 14 years (2005-2019). Findings showed that satisfactory heating reduced student absenteeism by 3%, suspensions by 6%, and improved math scores by 5%. Adequate ventilation led to a 2% decrease in absenteeism and a 7% reduction in suspensions, whereas improved cooling correlated with a 3% boost in reading scores. Overall, enhanced HVAC systems contributed positively to student performance, reinforcing the importance of comfortable learning environments.
Schools with "satisfactory" heating system conditions reduce student absence by 3%, suspensions by 6%, and improve student math scores by 5% compared to schools with poorer heating systems.
HVAC system reconstructions and replacements in school saw "significant improvements" in math performance: scores went up 3% with cooling system improvements and 4% for heating improvements.
