Air Conditioning Hire – Teachers get heated over “greenhouse” classrooms.

February 18, 2009

School Air conditioning Hire – Teachers get heated over “greenhouse” classrooms. Watkins Hire air conditioning hire delivers temporary cooling to Local Area Authorities, last summer many of the problems faced by school staff were highlighted. Teachers say schools are becoming ‘glasshouses’ in summer

Teachers say schools are becoming ‘glasshouses’ in summer heat waves and are demanding the right to walk out of classrooms if the temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius. They warn that staff and pupils are risking ‘dizziness, fainting, or even heat cramps’ during the summer term.

“Schools are not suited to the warmer summers we have been enjoying,” said NUT general secretary Steve Sinnott. “Schools do not have air-conditioning. Those built more recently have a great deal of glass which can push the temperature up quite considerably.”

The problem is made worse by the fact that school windows are secured to only open a few centimeters for safety reasons.

Watkins Hire Ltd has recognised the growing need for temporary air conditioning hire for schools and universities, Watkins has the UK’s large range of portable air conditioner hire units to reflect this need and will meet the varied and often urgent needs from the local area authorities.

One delegate at the National Union of Teachers’ annual conference in Harrogate predicted that climate change could lead to schools closing during summer, just as ice and snow sometimes brought education to a halt during the winter months.

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) says the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends 24 degrees as a maximum for comfortable working and regards anything above 26 degrees ‘as definitely unacceptable.’ Workplace Temperature The Law

The NUT insisted teachers, “should not and cannot be expected to work in any classroom or other internal teaching space where the temperature exceeds 26°C (79°F) for anything other than very short periods”.

It is pressing the government to introduce laws requiring all schools to adhere to World Health Organisation recommendations for a maximum 24°C (75°F) limit for ‘comfortable’ working conditions.

The National Union of Teachers recommends that schools make contingency plans for lessons to be held in cooler, less sunny rooms during heat waves or ensure early morning slots for subjects using heat-emitting equipment, such as science, technology and food science classes.

Extensive field tests have proven the KwikCOOL Aircon hire units to be reliable and consistent.. The quiet operation with simple controls make these air conditioning units ‘Classroom Friendly’.

The company’s team of dedicated engineers and vehicles can deliver and install these units to any site with the shortest possible delay. Either as a planned event or emergency situation they can ensure a speedy installation and can have the unit delivering cool air into where it is required within 15 minutes of being on site.

Why is Air Conditioning hire needed in Schools & Colleges?

  1. Staff and pupils struggle to concentrate on their work in hot conditions.
  2. Exam are held in the hottest months of the year.
  3. Most school & college ICT suites are too hot.
  4. 30 children and 30 computers create the same heat as a 7kw fire

Air Conditioning Systems for Schools & Colleges

We have vast experience installing temporary air conditioning in ICT suites in schools and colleges throughout the UK. We can design a system that will create a comfortable, temperature controlled environment, enabling your pupils to concentrate for much longer and attain the required results.

We work closely with schools, colleges, universities, local authorities across Britain & Ireland and because of our depot network we are able to deliver a huge range of air conditioners.
