School, College & University Air Conditioning

Sovereign Planned Services have been installing air conditioning systems in schools, colleges and universities across the UK for over 35 years.

Keeping temperatures low in an educational settings such as a school, college or university helps pupils and teachers retain focus, and therefore supports effective learning.

Air conditioning for schools, colleges and universities helps to establish comfortable spaces that are suitable for learning and study, and for teaching too.

It also helps to keep everyone hydrated and provides cleaner air indoors, creating a healthier environment for any pupils and staff with asthma, allergies or other breathing difficulties.

Benefits of Air Conditioning for Schools and Education

While the UK is far from hot all year round, summer temperatures can soar.

Late spring and early summer is also a time when many school, college and university students must sit exams.

Doing so in a hot hall, or learning and revising in humid classrooms, is not going to help their concentration.

Pupils should be given a comfortable environment to learn and study. Teachers also need the right temperature conditions to fulfil their duties towards students.

Heat can sap enthusiasm and shorten tempers. Concentration is a finite resource, and heat can be a significant drain on it.

According to Asthma UK, 1.1 million children in the UK are currently receiving treatment for asthma.

Recommended actions for tackling asthma include maintaining low humidity and keeping indoor air clean.

Air conditioning can help reduce airborne pollen from trees and grasses, reducing humidity in the air. It can also lessen the exposure of children to dust mites.

With modern technology, the energy efficiency delivered by air conditioning units vastly reduces a school’s utility bills.

Cost Effective Air Conditioning for Educational Institutions

Air conditioning installation for schools or colleges might seem out of reach for the many institutions that are already restricted by tight budgets.

However, a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air con system or split air conditioners can keep running costs down.

The VRF air con system has built-in heat recovery, which reduces the amount of money spent on cooling, and it enables multiple indoor units to connect to a single outdoor outdoor appliance. It provides a precise zoning system for air conditioning, and the system also allows for customisation of temperatures in different indoor areas. It ensures multiple rooms within a building each maintain an optimum temperature.

As well as being cheaper to install than many conventional heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, VRF and split air con can also offer long-term energy savings.

Schools, colleges and universities all have to do more with fewer resources. VRF enables them to do exactly  that with their climate control – and to do it well.
