High Scores For Learning Environments
Studies show children are suffering from learning loss due to challenges with at-home learning, scheduling changes and teacher adjustments. In some cases students are six months behind due to the pandemic. Learning loss is influenced by factors such as poor acoustics, bad indoor air quality and insufficient lighting.
Whether you are specifying sustainable, healthy building products, researching options to present to the school board or advocating for better learning environments for children, you can start at the ceiling to improve indoor environmental quality.
Staff and parents can rest assured knowing that students are surrounded by clean air, optimal lighting, great acoustics and thermal comfort. A healthy learning environment starts at the ceiling.

Case Studies
To improve indoor air quality, St. Francis Xavier school placed portable air purifiers in the cafeteria that were loud and took up valuable floor space. To fix this problem the Operations Director installed our VIDASHIELD UV24 Air Purification System – a quiet, in-ceiling solution for improving indoor air quality.
The VIDASHIELD UV24 system uses patented UV-C air cleaning technology that reduces the levels of infectious viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the air and recirculates clean air back in the room. “The overall sound level of the VIDASHIELD units is much quieter than the portable units we have,” said OD Joseph D’Arco, “and having them out of the way in the ceiling is much better than having them on the floor.”
