building regulations, and welcome technology seeks to raise awareness of IAQ. Often people think that if something in the sky outdoor air pollution, but pollution is a greater danger at home. The Environmental Protection Agency recently compared the air quality, if at all appropriate levels of air pollution five times at home. The Environmental Protection Agency pollution levels found in some cases, more than 100 times greater than at home. Most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, children are no exception. The average child spends between 1200 and 1400 hours a year of school. Teachers and parents are increasingly aware of the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ).

and children are more susceptible to air pollutants. Children from the air is much smaller, so it can easily irritate the airway narrowing of the child’s serious illness. Children also have higher metabolism, which requires more oxygen compared to the size and weight, and that means children breathe faster and inhale more pollutants per pound than adults.

can “Poor indoor air quality affects the comfort and students, which in turn can affect concentration, attendance, student performance, and the failure of schools to respond immediately to poor IAQ, students and gain an increased risk of short-term health problems such as fatigue and nausea, as well as long-term challenges such as asthma. “

Mold is often the culprit of air quality in confined spaces. And produce a mold allergy symptoms, and in some cases weaken the body’s natural defenses. Mold exposure can cause the development of allergies and other hypersensitivity allergens. Mold the radar schools K – 12 on the health and safety. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the template can be found almost anywhere moisture and oxygen are present, including woodworking, paper and insulation materials. Can be treated with mold can be expensive. And treatment of mold in a small elementary school that usually lasts an average of about $ 200,000. The key to the environmental standards to help ensure that new construction and renovation to maintain certain standards of environmental compliance. In the construction of buildings and surfaces such as wood, sheetrock is the ideal material to support the paper feed on mold. Mold, and the best defense is a strong offense. High-tech materials such as structural insulated panels ThermaSteel (SIPS) provides an excellent alternative. ThermaSteel sips of water, and eliminate the use of mold materials to attract. The certificate can not program (LEED), developed by U. S. Green Building Council to help school administrators and board members to choose the design and construction options that are environmentally friendly, reducing potential problems later. ThermaSteel building and other high-performance options are important elements of any building Walid approved projects.

asthma:

players – the first step in the Healthy Schools
Welcome
buildings and technology to help planners, engineers, architects, builders, and administrators, the integration of SIPS ThermaSteel steel design of new construction and renovation projects in education

and the environment as an internal control and comfort. Structural steel SIP building envelope prevents air access inside the building, except in controlled amounts. You can easily control humidity SSIP structure, which led to the building, which is more convenient for students and staff, and less prone to mold growth and dust mites. Because steel does not cause any volatile organic compounds, it saves the whole nature of air quality in enclosed spaces. Unlike traditional wood construction and OSB sips, sips, and rot-resistant steel, mold, termites and insect damage, leading to lower number of respiratory and health problems.
