The Western Sydney University Cool Schools Initiative (CSI) was launched

in 2018 to develop interdisciplinary research programs for heat-resilient

primary and secondary school environments and design of heat-resilient

curriculum. This report summarises current research in health and environmental sciences, planning policy, legislation and standards, sustainability education, and innovative design trends. Its purpose is to

inform future research into student thermal comfort and cooling solutions

for schools in Western Sydney and NSW.
