50814 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: Have any trends found in Internal Environment Monitoring data analysis lead to change in advice provided to schools; if so, what advice, if any, changed?

For example, analysis confirmed that preheating can improve both thermal comfort and CO₂ levels, and that refresh breaks at standardised times are an effective way to reduce CO₂ without significantly lowering indoor temperatures.
