Education

The impact of classroom air quality and temperature on student performance in K-12 schools is well-established. For HPAC Engineering, school is never out of session, as its assignment is to arm HVAC designers and school operators with the information they need to maintain healthy and productive indoor environments. Meanwhile, on the campuses of colleges and universities everywhere, the sustainability movement is alive and well. With environmental initiatives playing an increasingly large role in students' choice of school and schools' marketing to prospective students, HPAC Engineering does its homework and comes to class prepared to educate and inform on the subject of efficiency.
