Schools are nearly out for the summer, which means school districts are planning their budget for the upcoming school year. School improvement plans are being created to enhance a student’s campus experience, and shade provision for buildings and playground equipment should be considered. Incorporating sunshades into the school budget provides students and administration with a number of added benefits after they are installed. So how exactly do sunshades benefit school campuses?

Sunshades and aluminum awnings should become a priority in any campus building structure because it provides shade for students and teachers, which can be extremely beneficial in the Florida sun. Whether students are outside during lunchtime, recess or even between classes, reducing exposure to the sun and harmful UV rays can be done simply by installing awnings and sunshades. The shaded areas give students more space to hang out without having to bask in the sun.

Other practical advantages of installing sunshades and aluminum awnings on campus include money-saving benefits. Sunshades are cost-effective because they can decrease sun absorption by up to 60%, and reduce the amount of sun and heat that reach the interior of a building. It will keep students and faculty more comfortable during classes by transforming classrooms into a more favorable learning environment, and it reduces the amount of energy needed to run the air conditioner continually, which saves both money and valuable resources.

Going green is one of the biggest benefits of setting aside a budget for installing sunshade and awning systems. Not only does “greening” your school improve the operations of the building, but it encourages the community, students, and faculty to be more cognizant of the impact we have on our environment. With the reduced consumption of resources and energy, schools will use less money for operations, and focus more on making a difference.
