Why indoor air quality in daycare centers
matters more than ever
Daycare centers are environments where children spend
many hours every day. When many children share the same
space, air conditions can change quickly if ventilation
is not properly adapted.
Because children’s lungs are still developing, they are
more sensitive to air pollution. High levels of CO2,
particles, or chemical substances can cause fatigue,
irritation, and breathing difficulties – making good air
quality essential for both health and learning.

3 factors that affect air quality in daycare centers
✓
High occupancy
– many children in the same room can make
CO2 levels rise quickly
✓
Airborne particles
– dust, outdoor pollution, and daily activities
can increase exposure
✓
Lack of monitoring
– without real-time data, it is difficult to know
whether ventilation is sufficient

From air monitoring to smart ventilation
With real-time air quality monitoring, daycare centers can
gain better insight into how the indoor environment changes
throughout the day. By measuring CO2, particles,
temperature, and humidity, solutions like HibouAir help
organizations understand when ventilation needs to be
adjusted. When sensor data is connected to ventilation
systems, airflow can be automatically adapted to actual
needs, improving the indoor environment while reducing
energy use.
