Indoor environmental quality in teaching environments

Indoor Environmental Quality (IAQ) is a term used to define holistic studies of environmental variables in closed environments. These studies allow for a more accurate and complete assessment of existing conditions. This topic has become relevant in teaching environments because it has been shown to be associated with student performance. As a result, this study aims to understand how Indoor Environmental Quality (IAQ) has been analysed over the years in educational environments. IAQ was restricted to understanding the main environmental areas: thermal, acoustic, lighting and air quality. A systematic literature review was used to achieve the objective. The final sample indicated that the subject is constantly being updated, with a large number of studies in Europe and Asia. However, there is a lack of studies associating environmental areas with student performance. Furthermore, a gap was identified when it comes to the joint influence of environmental areas on student performance.
