摘要

With the advancement of China’s economic development and policy incentives, educational standards for primary and secondary schools have significantly improved in recent years. Many campuses built in Shenzhen during the early 2000s can no longer meet the growing demands of education. Against urban renewal and high-quality development, renovating ageing school buildings in Shenzhen is urgent. As a typical architectural form in Lingnan school campuses, courtyards serve various outdoor teaching, communication, and extracurricular activities due to their advantageous location and rich environmental configuration. They are crucial for improving campus quality in subtropical areas. Different renovation strategies for school courtyards have varying impacts on outdoor thermal comfort. This study selected representative ageing school campuses in Shenzhen for typological analysis and extracted a prototype of Lingnan school courtyards as the research object. ENVI-met was used to simulate the outdoor thermal environment of typical courtyards, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze the impacts of four passive renovation strategies—opening, shading, inner facades and underlying surfaces—on outdoor thermal comfort. A comparative analysis was conducted to determine optimal renovation strategies, providing a reference for courtyard renovation and thermal environment optimization on Lingnan school campuses.
