HVAC Solutions for Schools
Healthy Air, Quiet Classrooms & Budget-Smart Performance
A well-designed HVAC system does more than keep students warm in winter and cool in June—it directly influences attendance, concentration, and test scores. Since 1999, Air Track Inc. has helped public, private, and post-secondary institutions create learning environments where fresh air, low noise, and energy efficiency go hand in hand.
Why Specialized HVAC Matters in Education
| Challenge in Schools | Our HVAC Solution | Educational Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh-air demand & COâ‚‚ buildup during full classes | High-rate ventilation, demand-controlled outside-air, MERV 13-plus filtration | Better cognitive function, lower absenteeism |
| Noise distraction from equipment or ductwork | Low-NC (≤ NC 35) fan coils, acoustically lined plenums, vibration isolation | Quieter classrooms - improved focus & speech intelligibility |
| Variable occupancy (gyms, auditoriums, labs) | Zoning with VAV boxes, VRF, or dedicated RTUs | Comfort without conditioning empty spaces |
| Tight operating budgets | High-efficiency boilers/chillers, heat-recovery MAUs, utility-rebate support | 15-30 % utility savings, faster payback |
| Health & safety codes (ASHRAE 62.1, CSA, TSSA) | Code-compliant design, certified installation, IAQ monitoring | Audit-ready, liability-free campuses |
