Healthy air is, of course, important for everyone, especially our children. Child care centres are tasked with responsibility of supporting the health and well-being of the children in their centres, which includes maintaining a safe and healthy environment. With dirty air conditioners blowing mould, mildew, dust and other microbial contaminants into the air, maintaining a clean and sanitised system is imperative. Read on for the why.
Reducing Sick Days for Children
Toddlers and young children are likely to catch between 10-12 colds a year, which means a lot of runny noses! As if this isn’t enough illness for one little person, dirty air blowing from an air conditioner could increase the longevity of their symptoms, so the sniffles stay around for longer. The dust spores, mould and mildew are known to cause and exacerbate coughs, colds and other issues, such as asthma.
Improved Concentration and Cognition
Several studies in the US have concluded that the building environment impacts the cognitive function of those working inside. Improved lighting, temperature control and ventilation all made a significant impact. The same thing could then be said for children in a child care centre, learning the alphabet and how to count, as well the benefits these factors have on their educators.
Happy Parents
Parents want the best for their children. If your child care centre’s air conditioner is blowing inappropriately hot or cold air, you can be sure they’ll want it fixed. Often, these issues are a simple reflection of a particularly dirty machine, not operating efficiently. Fixing little issues like this make the space more comfortable for the child and the teachers, whilst also potentially reducing turnover with dissatisfied parents.
Reduced Electricity Bills
Reducing the use of power from a sustainability perspective is certainly important, but, as a business, the financial costs of running air conditioning, day in, day out, can become significant. Especially if your air conditioning systems are running inefficiently due to the build-up of microbial contamination.
