Islamic Azad University Researchers Update Understanding of School Health (The Influence of Sky View Factor Index on Thermal Health of Secondary Girl Students based on ASHRAE55 Standard: A Case Study in Shiraz, Iran).

A recent study conducted by researchers from Islamic Azad University in Shiraz, Iran, explored the influence of the Sky View Factor (SVF) on the thermal health of secondary school girls. The study used various models and measurements to assess the physiological and mental thermal health of the students. The results showed that areas with reduced SVF, such as resting areas near shady trees, had improved thermal health for the students. The study also found that the impact of SVF on physiological thermal health was more significant than on mental thermal health. [Extracted from the article]
