Abstract

This paper describes a series of field measurements investigating the ventilation rates and indoor air quality in four newly built secondary schools in England. In these schools - each with a different ventilation strategy - measurements and calculations were performed to determine the variation in ventilation rates during the school day. All the schools were assessed for compliance with the recently adopted Building Bulletin 101 which defines the set of criteria in relation to the ventilation rates and indoor air quality in new school buildings. The results clearly suggest an immediate need for more research in school design with attention to indoor air quality and ventilation.
