Impact
The installation of Airius fans has significantly lowered indoor temperatures by 5° to 10°, improved ventilation, and brought the children closer to both art and nature. This setup not only reinforces the center’s commitment to sustainability but also enriches the educational experiences of its young learners.
By incorporating Airius fans into its design, the Child Care Center at Hart Woods exemplifies how architectural innovations can synergize with educational goals to create a healthy, stimulating, and environmentally aware setting for children.
