Ensuring Safety in Physical
Learning Environments
Thorough Indoor Air Management Remains a Crucial Concern for Parents and
Teachers as School Environments Re-Open
As schools across the Gulf region experience phased
reopening and a transition towards hybrid learning
models, educational institutions are tasked with
creating environments in which employees and pupils alike
are comfortable with the prospect of entering physical
learning environments.
While mask wearing and social distancing remain enforced
by all, academic buildings in particular are also placing
particular importance on maintaining healthy indoor air
quality and ventilation. Diagnosing the schools’ current
air circulation system is not only necessary but should
be regarded as one of the top items in the priority list.

Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) highlighted that
“changes to building operations, including the operation
of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, can
reduce airborne exposures.”
