Abstract
Indoor air quality and speech intelligibility are key factors for comfort and learning effectiveness in school classrooms. The installation of Controlled Mechanical Ventilation Systems (CMV) ensures proper air exchange and reduces pollutant concentration, but it can affect acoustic conditions. This paper explores design and management strategies for CMV systems aimed at minimizing noise and optimizing speech intelligibility. Through technical solutions and case studies, practical solutions are proposed to balance environmental comfort and acoustic performance, with a focus on current regulations and the specific needs of educational facilities.
