“…For example, the topic of dry air was addressed by Yang, Becerik‐Gerber and Mino. 25 In one study, 26 respondents were asked to assess the air humidity and in another study, 24 respondents described how they felt about the degree of humidity. Accordingly, in the questionnaire, the topic of air moisture is addressed with the following reformulated item “The air is dry in here.” The questionnaire was then assessed by the above‐described experts for relevance and applicability in relation to higher education classrooms.…”

This study explores how to measure the influence of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters on students and their academic performance. It is the primary responsibility of the school management to provide appropriate classrooms for education; which can positively influence students' academic performance, contributing to a sustainable and positive school climate. 1 As part of classrooms' environmental quality, this study focusses on four IEQ parameters: (1) indoor air quality, (2) thermal conditions, (3) acoustic

“…Maintaining adequate ventilation and thermal comfort in classrooms could significantly improve academic achievement of students 27 . Comfortable temperature depends on the value of relative humidity and air flow 11 . Most people feel comfortable when indoor air temperature is between 20°C and 27°C and relative humidity ranges between 35% and 60%.…”

Background: Student performance determines learning achievement and how students absorb lessons in class. One of the factors that cause student performance to decline is physical fatigue, which arises because of the classroom’s physical environment that does not support the teaching and learning process. Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between classroom’s physical environmental conditions and fatigue among high school students. Methods: The study design used was cross-sectional. Data collection included measurements of physical environmental parameters (humidity, temperature, lighting, noise, air flow, ventilation, temperature control, room capacity, room area ratio per person, and school location) and measurements of fatigue among students using the Subjective Self Rating Test in the form of questionnaire. Total sample was 448 students in 10 private high schools, with inclusion criteria: the students are not sick in the last two weeks and 10th and 11th grade students from 10 private high schools. Results: The research showed classroom’s physical environmental factors that affect fatigue among student’s included temperature, relative humidity, air flow, and air conditioner. While the most dominant indicator that was related to the occurrence of students’ fatigue was sex. Conclusion: Further research is needed on other factors that may cause fatigue among students in the classroom to support the conclusion of this research.

“…However, it should be noted that there are limited studies on the thermal comfort environment of classrooms as compared with other environments [10]. Kuru et al [4] found that the thermal comfort of the indoor environment has a great impact on the health and well-being of users. Cognati et al found that during the heating season in Italy, students prefer a warm environment in university classrooms [20].…”

In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the effects of indoor thermal environments on human physical and mental health. This paper aimed to study the current status of the thermal environment and thermal comfort in the classrooms of Northeastern University during the heating season. The indoor thermal environment was analyzed with the use of field measurements, a subjective questionnaire, regression statistics, and the entropy weight method. The results show that personnel population density is an important factor affecting the temperature and relative humidity variations in classrooms. The results also show that the temperature and relative humidity in a lecture state are respectively 4.2 °C and 11.4% higher than those in an idle state. In addition, in university classrooms in Shenyang, the actual thermal neutral temperature is 2.5 °C lower than the predicted value of the Predicted Mean Vote. It was found that increasing indoor relative humidity can effectively improve the overall thermal comfort of subjects. Furthermore, the temperature preference of women was higher than that of men. Therefore, when setting the initial heating temperature, the personnel population density and sufficient indoor relative humidity have been identified as the key factors for improving the thermal environment of the classroom.
