A study on pupils' learning performance and thermal comfort of primary schools in China
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between temperature and learning performance and found that thermal discomfort caused by high or low temperatures had a negative impact on pupil learning performance, while carbon dioxide concentration, acoustics, and illumination were maintained at the same level.About:

Effects of moderate thermal environments on cognitive performance: A multidisciplinary review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the two dominant conceptual models linking thermal stress to performance; (1) the inverted-U concept and (2) the extended-U relationship, which posits a broad central plateau across which there is no discernible thermal effect on cognitive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on global solar radiation prediction with machine learning models in a comprehensive perspective
TL;DR: A compact guide of existing model modification and novel model development regarding predicting global solar radiation, including input parameters, feature selection and model development for machine-learning models is provided.

TL;DR: The study revealed that the use of air purifiers with windows kept closed (natural ventilation) can lead to a significant reduction in terms of indoor-to-outdoor concentration ratios, and for low ACH values, the reduction is quite negligible.

The impact of glazing ratio and window configuration on occupants’ comfort and energy demand: The case study of a school building in Eskisehir, Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different transparency ratios (WWR) and window combinations in two critical orientations (west and east) on occupants' comfort and the energy demands of a classroom was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort and energy-saving potential in university classrooms during the heating season
TL;DR: In this article, a field survey conducted in a classroom during the heating season in Taiyuan, China was conducted to study the university students' general and local thermal comfort, and the results indicated that PMV overestimated the thermal sensation of students.

Do indoor pollutants and thermal conditions in schools influence student performance? A critical review of the literature
Mark J. Mendell,Garvin Heath +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, evidence suggests that poor IEQ in schools is common and adversely influences the performance and attendance of students, primarily through health effects from indoor pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceived air quality, sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms and productivity in an office with two different pollution loads.
TL;DR: Reducing the pollution load on indoor air proved to be an effective means of improving the comfort, health and productivity of building occupants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilation rates in schools and pupils' performance
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of classroom ventilation on pupils' performance were investigated in 8 primary schools in England, and the results of computerized performance tasks performed by more than 200 pupils showed significantly faster and more accurate responses for Choice Reaction (by 2.2%), Colour Word Vigilance (By 2.7%), Picture Memory (by 8%) and Word Recognition (by 15%) at the higher ventilation rates compared with the low ventilation conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of indoor air temperature and humidity in an office on perceived air quality, SBS symptoms and performance.
TL;DR: Perceived air quality, sick building syndrome symptoms and performance of office work were studied in a real office space at three levels of air temperature and humidity and two levels of ventilation rate and the previously observed impact ofTemperature and humidity on perceived air quality and the linear correlation between acceptability and enthalpy was confirmed.
