Passive cooling strategies to optimise sustainability and environmental ergonomics in Mediterranean schools based on a critical review

This article identifies and compares the passive cooling strategies used their relationship to optimising sustainability environmental ergonomics based on 47 case studies. The analysis of schools has resulted in identification 20 strategies, eight parameters related six ergonomics. results show that most are natural ventilation, green roofs, low thermal transmittance windows solar shading. In contrast, least ventilated façades evaporative systems. terms sustainability, energy efficiency is present studies; circular economy hardly considered schools. ergonomics, comfort studies, while acoustic not assessed. Furthermore, an absence optimisation visual comfort, climate change adaptation measures involvement educational community. work provides a detailed understanding status quo for researchers, practitioners policymakers predicts dynamic directions field.
