The collected evidence showed that the indoor environmental quality
(IEQ) can contribute positively to the quality of learning and short-term academic performance of students. However, the influence of all parameters on the quality of teaching and the long-term academic performance could not be determined yet. Students perform at their best in different IEQ conditions, and these conditions are task-dependent, suggesting that classrooms which provide multiple IEQ classroom conditions facilitate different learning tasks optimally. In addition, the presented evidence illuminates how to examine the influence of the IEQ on users. Finally, this information supports decision-makers in facility management and building systems engineering to improve the IEQ, and by doing so, allow teachers and students to perform optimally.
