Building intelligence for schools and education

Climate change in the classroom.

The idea behind

A good indoor climate doesn't make an Einstein, but it's a relatively good start.

Set, six! The air quality in classrooms is often anything but first class. No wonder. Often, up to 30 students and their teacher sit in a room for hours. They learn, laugh, yawn, sneeze, breathe. Sometimes the windows are opened, but usually not often enough or for long enough. The CO₂ level rises, while the oxygen level and concentration drop. What can be done about chronically stuffy air in the classroom?

Building Intelligence sensors from STEINEL are sensitive to poor air quality and ensure that students and teachers have a healthier and better learning environment.

The project

  • An increased concentration of CO2 in the air we breathe increases our breathing rate and significantly slows down our thinking.
  • With the windows tilted, it takes about 60 minutes for the stale air to be completely replaced.
  • Good indoor air quality through frequent ventilation can improve pupils' performance by up to 15 per cent.

Sensory perception for good learning conditions and good grades.

Presence is the key to building automation. Building functions such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning can be controlled in an energy-efficient way. If rooms are not being used, the systems can be shut down to save energy.

Good light aids learning. In classrooms with plenty of daylight, pupils are up to 26% faster in reading tests, for example. An intelligent light control system adjusts itself during the course of the day and, thanks to HCL, creates conditions similar to daylight for more concentration and performance.

Recent studies show how important it is to minimise CO2 concentrations in classroom air. Fresh air and a limit below 1000 ppm significantly improves both learning outcomes and the health of pupils.

7 Senses - True Presence® Multisensor

The True Presence® Multisensor uses its seven senses to measure not only human presence but also brightness, room temperature, humidity, CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and air pressure. In conjunction with a modern building automation system, it controls all the parameters that promote healthy and successful learning in the classroom.

80% of all school classes sit in rooms with excessive CO2 levels. The result: tiredness, headaches, poor concentration and an increased risk of illness.

Clever light. Clever students.

Intelligent sensor technology saves a lot of energy. Even that of students and teachers.

Half of all schools in Germany use lighting technology that is more than 25 years old. However, upgrading to modern LED technology is just the first step. A great deal of additional money can be saved by using intelligent lighting control via presence detectors – and an optimal learning environment can be created. After all, good air and good lighting conditions are both crucial for healthy learning. For example, constant light control, which takes into account the amount of daylight, ensures that the light level is always dimmed to the level needed for optimal learning.

LiveLink: revolutionary simplicity in lighting management.

What used to be very complex and time-consuming can now be configured in just a few minutes with LiveLink, without any specialist knowledge or programming experience. Operation is intuitive and easy using a tablet or smartphone. The LiveLink app guides you step by step through the installation. Frequently occurring application scenarios, for example in an office or classroom, are stored as so-called use cases and make planning particularly easy. Special, highly sensitive sensors from STEINEL switch the light on and off precisely in line with how the room is used and the amount of daylight available.

Building intelligence is catching on – and not just in the classroom.

Sports halls often have ceilings between 8 and 10 metres high. This is no easy task for safe motion detection. STEINEL has created convincing solutions for this.

Our sensors provide reliable measurements of temperature, humidity and other factors, thus helping to ensure an optimal learning environment. Optical sensors help to determine the utilisation of rooms.
