Description
Summary:To investigate the correlation between indoor environment and personnel learning performance, a typical classroom in a university in Xi'an was selected and continuously monitored for parameters such as indoor temperature and humidity, CO2 concentration, sound level and illumination, and 248 students were subjectively surveyed and field tested for learning efficiency using subjective questionnaires and neurobehavioural ability assessment software. The results show that during the transition season, students as a whole were in a cold but comfortable temperature range, with peak learning performance at 21.5 °C; Two-thirds of students feel comfortable in environments with CO2 concentration below 1 000 mg/m3 and the mean learning performance remained at a high level; Students preferred quiet environments but noise at 60 dB levels had an arousing effect on subjects; Brighter environments were more suitable for learning, but brighter than 340 lx could irritate the eyes and make students feel fatigued, resulting in lower learning efficiency; there were differences in the strength of correlations between environmental parameters and the four learning efficiency factors: concentration, perception, logic and memory, with concentration having a strong correlation with all four environmental parameters.
