EDUCATION
Making Everyone’s Working Environment More Comfortable
“In a study performed over the course of an academic year in San Juan Capistrano, California, students who benefited from more natural lighting in their classrooms achieved scores that were 20% higher in mathematics tests and 26% higher in reading tests than students whose classrooms had less natural light.“ (David Hobstetter – “Daylighting and productivity: a study of the effects of the indoor environment on human function“ - 2007)
Improve Thermal Comfort
SOMFY CAN!
Solution: With Somfy, sun protection devices are automatically activated:
> When it’s hot, in order to protect the classroom from the sun’s rays.
> When it’s cold, in order to keep heat in the building when it’s empty.
> These automatic devices can also be managed locally by occupants via a remote control.
Benefit: Classrooms that are too hot or too cold impact concentration and prevent effective teaching.
Optimization of the temperature
When it is hot...
