Summary
This paper assesses the indoor environment quality in New Zealand early childhood education centres, highlighting a lack of standards and suggesting further research and guidance is needed.
Categories
Education and learning: The paper focuses on the quality of indoor environments in early childhood education centres in New Zealand, suggesting that poor indoor environment quality could impact the learning experience.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the lack of natural light and poor interior lighting in the classrooms, suggesting that this could impact the quality of the learning environment.
Well-being: The paper suggests that poor indoor environment quality, including issues with ventilation, temperature, and lighting, could impact the well-being of children in these education centres.
