Are Our Children Gasping for Air?l
Why good indoor air quality is important

within the scope of Germany’s Stimulus Package II
As society has changed in recent decades, the day-to-day lives of children have been changing as well. They are spending increasingly more time in children’s preschool facilities and school (not least because more and more are spending the entire day at such facilities) and they are expected to meet rising performance standards, especially at school. However, their developmental and learning processes cannot proceed optimally unless their brains receive enough oxygen.
For schools and preschool facilities, this means that the necessary conditions are not met unless the air in their classrooms and recreational rooms is of sufficiently high quality. Reality shows us, however, that this aspect is increasingly coming to the attention of decision-makers, but up to now a comparatively small percentage of facilities fulfils the requirements for an air supply that is suited to those needs.
