A performance comprison of ordinary and container classrooms in Austria

This paper compares the indoor environment of ordinary and container classrooms in a number of schools in Austria. Temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration were measured. Moreover, teachers in each school were handed a questionnaire inquiring about factors such as ventilation practices, air quality, and thermal comfort in their classrooms. The results of the study suggest a slightly inferior indoor environmental performance of the container schools as compared to ordinary schools.
