Daylight and academic performance
Pupils perform better in math and logic tests in classrooms with large windows, a high percentage of windows facing south and adequate daylight control, according to our research into the correlation between daylight and productivity in classrooms across Europe. The research was done in collaboration with the UPMC/INSERM (Epidemiology of Allergic and Respiratory Disease (EPAR) Department, IPLESP) in France.
Another study, conducted at Endrup school in eastern Denmark, showed that pupils' performance increases when they are in classrooms with improved daylight conditions and good indoor climates.
