Abstract
The main purpose of the current research is to measure the comfort level of public primary schools in Karoun town based on Mahani and Gioni bioclimatic index. In this research, the meteorological data of temperature, precipitation, humidity and prevailing wind in a period of 30 years (1988-2018) have been used. The graphs are drawn with Climate Consultant and Excel software, and the maps are drawn with ArcGIS software. The results of the monthly index tables show that from June to August (3 months), the A1 dry index conditions prevail, which indicates the high fluctuation of daytime heat (more than 10 degrees Celsius) and low relative humidity, which causes discomfort. To solve this problem, it is suggested that materials with medium to high heat capacity should be used in the design of buildings. On the other hand, in the months of June to August (3 months), the A2 dry index prevails, which indicates warm or moderate nights with relatively low humidity in the environment. For the months of December, January and February (3 months), the A3 dry index prevails, which indicates cold climatic conditions in the region. To deal with these conditions, it is necessary to use energy to heat the interior spaces of buildings. Of course, the studied area does not fall under the conditions of H1, H2 and H3 humid conditions in any of the months of the year. Also, according to the results of Giuni's method, in three months of the year (June, July and August) the changes in air thermal conditions is completely out of comfort zone. In September, the weather is comfortable only for a short period of time (midnight to before sunrise). The final control of the building's air, especially during the hottest hours of the day in the months of May to August, is only possible by using air conditioners. According to the studies carried out and their compliance with the school construction standards of the country and taking into account the climatic conditions of the region, the results show that the necessary standards for the construction of schools in the study area and taking into account the climatic conditions of the region are not considered and all the studied schools do not have the necessary standards.
