Hot weather in schools has once again highlighted an increasingly important need: classrooms where children can learn and spend time together in comfort, even during periods of high temperatures.<\/p>\n

Preventing overheating in classrooms<\/strong> is essential for pupils’ well-being and for adapting learning environments to the challenges of a changing climate.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, the Catalan Government’s Actualitza Clima Plan<\/a> aims to improve heating, cooling, ventilation and energy efficiency across 2,530 public schools in Catalonia through a phased programme running until 2031. The initiative provides fresh momentum for the transformation of educational spaces.<\/p>\n

The concept of a climate refuge<\/em> also encourages us to consider how schools can offer protection from extreme heat. In classrooms, this means looking at solar exposure, ventilation, insulation and cooling systems as part of an integrated approach.<\/p>\n

Every classroom needs a tailored approach<\/h2>\n

The orientation of the building, the size of its windows, insulation, building materials and the number of people using each room are all factors to consider before planning any improvements.<\/p>\n

Even two classrooms within the same school may have very different requirements. That is why improving thermal comfort in schools calls for solutions tailored to each space<\/strong>, combining different measures according to its specific characteristics.<\/p>\n

Some of the options to consider include:<\/p>\n
