Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in classrooms and schools is of utmost importance as it can directly impact the health and well-being of students, teachers, and staff. Poor air quality can lead to several health issues, such as headaches, allergies, asthma, fatigue, and even reduced cognitive function, which can affect academic performance. In addition, IAQ is particularly important in classrooms as students and teachers spend a significant amount of time indoors, often in poorly ventilated spaces. By ensuring good indoor air quality in classrooms, we can help create a safe and healthy environment for our children to learn and thrive. Airedale by Modine offers IAQ solutions for Schools.

Accessories
Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization Technology Kit (NPBI™) uses ions to clean air even more effectively alongside the filters to enhance IAQ with our innovative solutions.
Research indicates that proper ventilation is the best way to combat the spread of the virus in indoor settings while ensuring healthy indoor air quality in classrooms.
There are quick-fix methods to ventilate a school, such as opening windows, adding fans to circulate air, and investing in portable HEPA systems, which are all temporary and not nearly as effective as having a properly installed and well-maintained HVAC system whether as a single-room solution like the Airedale by Modine single unit ventilator.
We are here to help you navigate the world of ventilation and understand the basics that will help keep your school doors open today and in the future.
Controlled Ventilation
The accurate way to determine whether ventilation rates are sufficient is to actively measure and control the outdoor airflow rate.
Dehumidification
Controlling the humidity level in a room for not only comfort but also the limitation of pathogen growth.
Filtration
High MERV-rated filters can filter out pathogens, odors, and other unhealthy particles in the air.
