The initial situation

• Powerful "concrete lobby"

• IBO survey: solid building materials rated as "Category 0"

• BUT:

Untreated solid timber elements as well as windows and doors

made from wood rated as "Category 1"

Initial situation

• The Idea to demonstrate the advantages of the building material

wood with a study project

Initial situation

Results of the pine study:

• Significant reduction in cardiac workload after sleeping in a bed made

from pine wood (3,500 heartbeats / night)

• Lasting positive effect also noticeable during daytime

Relevant previous projects: Pine study

Results of the spruce study:

• Significant advantages of the spruce room regarding

HRV-parameters and heart rate in 25.6 % of the test phases

• Lower stress level in the spruce room, especially in the relax phase

and after power nap

• Significant advantages of the spruce room under conditions of

stress (mental stress was perceived less strenuous)

Relevant previous projects: Spruce study

Physiological results of

the SOS study

Daily variation:

Heart rate standard classroom vs. wood

classroom

8,600 heartbeats per day saved!

Standard classroom Wood classroom

Daily variation:

Vagus nerve standard classroom vs. wood

Standard classroom Wood classroom

Psychological results of

the SOS study

Social stress of pupils caused by teachers

remains stable

Conflict potential decreases in wood classrooms but increases in standard classrooms!

Conflicts and subjective quality of sleep

Fewer concentration problems in wood classrooms!

Grades and concentration performance

• Heart rate:

... in awake state; decreases in "Wood classroom" group (test

group) but increases in "Standard classroom" group (control

group)

• Vagus nerve activity (cardioprotective value):

... in awake state, increases in test group but decreases in

control group

... during night time; remains unchanged in test group but

decreases in control group

• Social stress of pupils caused by teachers:

... remains unchanged in test group but increases in

control group

• School performance and concentration skills:

... less mistakes due to lack of concentration in test group

Summary of the results

Effects of the results on other fields

What do these results mean for the

education sector?

• Proof that schools made from wood provide a stress-free

environment for pupils and teachers:

- Less aggression among pupils

- More willingness to learn and less mistakes due to lack of

concentration and / or focus

- Higher teaching quality due to less behavioural problems

- Probably reduced burnout risk for pupils and teachers
