Make The Grade With Your School Building
The health of your education facility directly impacts the performance of your students. Acoustics, air quality, light, temperature, aesthetics, sustainable materials, and other factors all play a role in how well students perform and feel in the classroom.
Studies show the need for optimal indoor environmental quality in the classroom. For instance, for every 10 dB noise increase, math test scores decrease by over 5 points. Other findings prove that poor lighting directly effects students sleep, concentration and well-being.
By creating healthy indoor environments, we can keep students and staff in schools. We’ve been helping to create the optimal learning environments for decades by offering healthy, sustainable building materials.

Introducing the Armstrong + AWAIR Healthy Schools Program
Armstrong and AWAIR, a leader in indoor environmental quality (IEQ) monitoring solutions and services, have partnered to help schools identify IEQ issues and improve indoor educational environments and learning experiences.
We are working together to:
- Pilot and improve indoor environmental quality monitoring systems for schools
- Make ceiling, wall and air purification recommendations to enhance IEQ and benefit student and staff well-being
- Measure the positive impact Armstrong solutions have on core elements of IEQ
AWAIR’s sensors monitor and identify risks across seven key indoor environmental quality parameters including particulates and VOCs, acoustics and light, temperature and humidity and carbon dioxide.
To find out how Armstrong and AWAIR can help you improve the IEQ of your school, contact Armstrong Healthy Spaces Segment Manager, Anne P. Jennings, P.E.
