💚 🏫 With evidence showing that many learning environments experience inadequate ventilation and elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂), particulate matter, and moisture-related risks such as mould conditions that affect both student outcomes and staff wellbeing.
In response, Somerset College is taking a proactive leadership role by implementing a comprehensive, real-time IAQ monitoring program across classrooms and staff spaces to establish a clear, evidence-based understanding of indoor conditions.
Our partners Blue IoT Team has been engaged to deliver advanced monitoring systems that provide continuous visibility of key air quality parameters, working alongside QED Environmental Services who interpret the data and guide practical interventions.
Importantly, the program goes beyond monitoring, incorporating targeted remediation strategies including operational improvements and demand-driven ventilation solutions such as wireless CO₂-based exhaust systems, ensuring that identified issues are addressed effectively and at scale.
Together, this initiative translates data into action, supporting healthier, safer, and higher-performing environments for both students and staff.
