300,000 air change measurements?!
Classroom air change averaged 3.0/h (about required), but varied significantly: between schools, within each school and within each classroom throughout the year.
Great work from @patriciafabian.bsky.social's group.

Schools with mechanical ventilation have lower CO2 concentrations than those without.
BUT all schools have significant variability between classrooms showing importance of monitoring each classroom.
More great work from @patriciafabian.bsky.social's group.

Thermal comfort matters when trying to learn in classrooms.
A new report by @patriciafabian.bsky.social's group shows intra-building temp differences of up to 14°C! While an extreme value, on average buildings without AC had mean temp differences of 5.7°C.
