Healthy learning environments directly influence educational outcomes. As part of the Great British Energy Solar Partnership programme, 32 schools are participating in what's believed to be the largest DfE indoor air quality monitoring trial across the UK education estate. Continuous monitoring of CO₂, temperature, humidity and occupancy is revealing how classrooms truly perform. With over 90 percent of monitored rooms regularly exceeding 1500ppm CO₂, the implications are significant. This session explores what this means for pupil performance, operational efficiency and national reform, showing how structured environmental data strengthens governance, informs investment and supports a more performance-led education estate.
