TIME: 11:00 am — 12:00 pm
PRESENTED BY: University of Plymouth

Hear Low Carbon Devon’s Dr Sepideh Korsavi present her findings on how the design of schools can optimise indoor environmental quality whilst lowering the carbon footprint and energy bill for schools. Sepideh has carried out research in schools on indoor environmental quality and how this impacts pupils’ tiredness and comfort levels.

This event will be a useful insight for anyone involved in the design or management of schools and how we can optimise school buildings to help pupils be productive and engaged through factors such as appropriate temperature, air quality and light levels. According to children’s thermal comfort temperature, heating set point temperatures can be lowered to save energy consumption and reduce bills. Find out more and register your free place.

Dr Sepideh Korsavi is our Industrial Research Fellow on Energy-efficient buildings. She focuses on reducing carbon emissions through energy efficiency in buildings.
