Impact of Classroom Plants on Students’ Comfort and Performance in UAE by Al-Bustami, Hadil

“…Moreover, the researcher concluded that the amount of plants placed inside a classroom should be calculated according to three ratios: amount of plants, size of the room and the average amount of air pollution found in the space. Since the psychological impact on the student was significant, the researcher recommended that green-wall should be part of each classroom in order to improve the sense of comfort among students and more than one green-wall should be placed in each classroom to make a difference in the parameters that increase the level of comfort.…”
