Summary

Students’ learning performance is directly affected by the indoor environment quality (IEQ) in a classroom. Due to the long learning time (at least 8 hours per day) of high school students in Taiwan, establishing a fine IEQ classroom is an essential issue nowadays. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the IEQ and the learning performance of day school students and night school students in high school buildings in Taiwan. Field surveys and questionnaires were conducted from September 2012 to November 2012 to obtain the objective physical parameters, subjective questionnaire of environmental sensation and self-report of learning performance. A total of 272 high-school students’ samples in 9 different classrooms were collected. The indoor CO2 concentration was effective diluted by natural ventilation in both day and night school classrooms. Aural comfort was the main impact factor to the learning performance of day school students. Visual comfort was the main impact factor to the learning performance of night school students in natural ventilation classrooms. However, indoor air quality was the strongest impact factor of night school students in mechanical ventilation classrooms. These results can help providing improvement methods to achieve an expected optimum environment quality for most students.
