Rethinking Classroom Comfort: Helping or Hindering Learning?
As temperatures rise, maintaining a good indoor climate in schools is essential. Overheating in classrooms affects the wellbeing, health, and learning performance of students and teachers.
The DSS journey was sparked by a simple yet profound question:
How can we harness the beauty and benefits of daylight while minimizing its challenges?
This question led to the creation of DSS, a collaborative community, focused on balancing light for greater comfort, sustainability, and innovation in building design.
