This seminar sheds light on how student health and performance are impacted by indoor environmental quality in schools, spanning thermal, indoor air quality, lighting and acoustic conditions and their interactions. The United States EPA sponsored seven projects under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, focused on "Healthy Schools: Environmental Factors, Children's Health and Performance, and Sustainable Building Practices". Three project investigators present their findings. This seminar benefits those working in the design, construction and operation of K-12 educational buildings by providing a better understanding of how indoor environmental quality can benefit occupants in educational settings.
