Abstract [en]

This study deals with previous research and studies on indoor climate in the permanent school, and work environment linked to air quality in the form of indoor carbon dioxide content. An observation, survey and measurement have been carried out at a permanent school which, like many other schools in Sweden, is facing remodeling and new construction. The questionnaire measures the perceived work environment in terms of sound environment, air quality and the design of the classroom. The result showed that mainly the air quality was the aspect that most respondents were not satisfied with. The results of the carbondioxide measurements in a classroom at the school showed that high levels were achieved even though not all students were present at the measurements. The perceived and the measured air quality seem to agree according to the results of the study. A design proposal with improvement measures for a classroom in the school was selected based on the wishes and needs of the survey respondents. The proposal also includes measures for the ventilation, which according to the measurements is on the verge of being too poor, based on the guideline values that exist in Sweden. This is because it can probably be above accepted values if the entire class is in the classroom without any absentees. The study shows, like previous research, that the carbon dioxide content affects the work environment. In this case, on the other hand, the perceived work environment was measured and not students' performance at increased carbondioxide levels. But there is a certain similarity between the studies.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie behandlar tidigare forskning och studier om inomhusklimat i den permanenta skolan, och arbetsmiljö kopplat till luftkvalitet i form av koldioxidhalten inomhus. En observation, enkät och mätning har utförts på enpermanent skola som likt många andra skolor i Sverige, står inför om och nybyggnation. Enkäten mäter den upplevda arbetsmiljön i form av ljudmiljö, luftkvalitet samt klassrummets utformning. Resultatet visade att främst luftkvaliteten var den aspekt som flest respondenter inte var nöjda med. Resultatet av koldioxidmätningarna i ett klassrum på skolan visade att höga nivåer uppnåddes trots att alla elever inte var på plats vid mätningarna. Den upplevda samt den uppmätta luftkvaliteten tycks stämma överens enligt studiens resultat. Ett gestaltningsförslag med förbättringsåtgärder på ett klassrum i skolan plockades fram utifrån enkätens respondenters önskemål och behov.  I förslaget ingår även åtgärder för ventilationen som enligt mätningarna är på gränsen till för dålig, utifrån de riktvärden som finns i Sverige. Detta då det troligen kan ligga över accepterade värden om hela klassen befinner sig i klassrummet utan några frånvarande. Studien visar likt tidigare forsning att koldioxidhalten påverkar arbetsmiljön. I detta fall mättes däremot den upplevda arbetsmiljön och inte elevers prestation vid ökade koldioxidhalter. Men en viss likhet mellan studierna finns.
