School exam hall seeks comfort cooling arrangement

Examination periods are arguably the most stressful time for students and school pupils, so the last thing they need is an additional problem when sat at their desks.

The room was occupied by around 200 people when at full capacity, and there was an urgent requirement for us to implement a practical cooling system immediately because of the scale of potential for students to complain about being too hot.
