Study of the Relationship Between Air-Conditioned Classrooms and Student Achievement (download PDF)
Previous research on the effect air-conditioning has upon the well being and performance of students has produced some very positive results indicating there is a relationship between the thermal environment and student achievement. Three hypotheses were developed to test the proposition that air-conditioned classrooms had an effect upon student performance. The present study used the 2001 student results of the Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition in the 4th, 6th, and 9th grades to measure the effect air-conditioned classrooms have upon this performance.

Investment in School Infrastructure (download PDF)
The evolution of research on the impact of the physical environment on student achievement has taken place over a 75-year span in this country and continues into the present. Two enduring challenges have been research methods and data availability. Over the course of decades, research methods have indeed matured, and national databases have been created. However, recent research still suffers from major weaknesses. This study sought to address these weaknesses through the development of a holistic theoretical model that links human capital, social capital, and physical capital as constructs that work together to enhance student achievement.

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina completed a 2006 CEFPI grant-funded research project that examined the impact of large-scale renovations of school buildings on facilities, student achievement, attendance, and suspension rates, as well as the impact on stakeholder satisfaction. The study compared pre-renovation trends to post-renovation trends at 18 of the Wake County schools that had undergone a major renovation between 1997 and 2003, ranging from $4.5M to $11.5M.
