Given that we spend 80-90% of our time in enclosed spaces, such as workplaces and schools, it is crucial to ensure that the air we breathe in these environments is not harmful. Good indoor air quality management in premises and schools not only helps to prevent health problems linked to air pollution, but also creates a more comfortable and productive working and learning environment. Schools, in particular, need to pay attention to air quality to ensure a healthy environment for pupils and educational staff. ![indoor air quality](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Comment-garantir-la-qualite-de-lair-optimale-dans-vos-locaux_Plan-de-travail-1.png) [![Version FR](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/france.svg)FR]({type=EXTERNAL,%20content_id=null,%20href=,%20href_with_scheme=}) ![flèche gauche](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/icon-long-arrow-left.svg) [News](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en) ![flèche droite](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hubfs/Template%20-%20Winbound/Template%20Blog/icon-right-blue.svg) [Air quality](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en/tag/air-quality) [Downloadable contents](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/en/tag/downloadable-contents) Published on 21 January 2025 # INFOGRAPHY - How can you guarantee optimum IAQ in your premises? ##### In this article: - [RISE](https://nexelec.eu/produit/en/rise/.) - [WAVE](https://nexelec.eu/en/produit/wave/) - [SIGN](https://nexelec.eu/en/produit/sign/) - [AERO CO2](https://nexelec.eu/en/produit/aero-co2/) ## The challenges of indoor air quality The [quality of air inside](https://nexelec.eu/en/temperature-and-air-quality-measurement/indoor-air-quality/) buildings, particularly in schools and offices, can have a significant impact on the health of occupants.[ Poor air quality](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en), often laden with pollutants, can lead to a range of health problems, from skin irritations and respiratory illnesses to nausea and infections. Schools, where children spend a large part of their day, and offices, where employees work long hours, are particularly affected by these issues. Prolonged exposure to polluted air can affect their concentration, well-being and even productivity. What's more, it's important to note that indoor air in schools and offices can contain concentrations of pollutants up to 5 to 7 times higher than outdoor air. This situation underlines the crucial importance of effective[ air quality](https://nexelec.eu/en/temperature-and-air-quality-measurement/indoor-air-quality/) management in enclosed environments, particularly in schools and offices, in order to limit exposure to pollutants and protect the health of pupils, educational staff and workers. Healthy air in the office also helps to reduce absenteeism and improve the general well-being of employees.   [![Infography](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204395343046.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLIK32BxWZO7NQc%2F80qNfUG1pjAzxQwdOoIIO2HRON3sky552%2BTV8IwTSzpuAzmIkE1ZbfbrHDSTSBr3aF%2BHxBHq7uH5nM5j67AWhabE2TPjLmSDVlZZPSZ3ekP0na1ogyX9abEL6EGQePj7QpY2dUmUwNKba1axQAUN%2BDP9I8q%2FEDrG3Mp0Pp7v1WFuxutdC0lTUUwnsbiJmeDsPjWAQlUrmoGtua86MR01NO67h%2FUPnl6fApJpHaCnfhQNg%2BOio8wLMM%2BdKXeVLdQJ2tU8djs%2BnAIMV2MxOdrlpQ%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204395343046&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## Sources of indoor air pollution [Indoor air pollutants](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en) can come from a number of sources in the home: - The building itself: Building materials and furniture in the home can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). - Human activities: Processes such as cooking or the use of chemicals in the home can increase pollution levels. - Air conditioning and ventilation: Poorly maintained systems in the home can accumulate dust and mould. Signs of a faulty ventilation system in the home include, for example, unpleasant odours, as well as excessive humidity and condensation. Indeed, these indicators often suggest insufficient or faulty ventilation. In homes, it is essential to monitor these elements to [ensure a healthy indoor environment](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en) and avoid the proliferation of pollutants.   [![Infography](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26277964/interactive-204395343046.png) ](https://actualites.nexelec.fr/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLIK32BxWZO7NQc%2F80qNfUG1pjAzxQwdOoIIO2HRON3sky552%2BTV8IwTSzpuAzmIkE1ZbfbrHDSTSBr3aF%2BHxBHq7uH5nM5j67AWhabE2TPjLmSDVlZZPSZ3ekP0na1ogyX9abEL6EGQePj7QpY2dUmUwNKba1axQAUN%2BDP9I8q%2FEDrG3Mp0Pp7v1WFuxutdC0lTUUwnsbiJmeDsPjWAQlUrmoGtua86MR01NO67h%2FUPnl6fApJpHaCnfhQNg%2BOio8wLMM%2BdKXeVLdQJ2tU8djs%2BnAIMV2MxOdrlpQ%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=204395343046&portalId=26277964&hsLang=en)   ## Optimizing ventilation and air conditioning To [ensure healthy air](https://www.landingpages.nexelec.fr/en/demande-de-devis?hsLang=en), it is crucial to comply with the ventilation requirements laid down in the French Labour Code.
