Assessment of Biometeorological Conditions in the Ancient Olive Grove Campus of the University of West Attica

This study assesses the biometeorological conditions in the Ancient Olive Grove Campus of the University of West Attica, near central Athens, to evaluate human thermal comfort in an urban green space. Hourly calculations of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and HUMIDEX were performed using BioKlima 2.6, based on data from the campus meteorological station (DAVIS Vantage Pro 2), covering July 2022 to April 2024. Results show diverse thermal comfort-discomfort conditions, with more extremes in warmer months. The study highlights how microclimatic factors influence thermal perception, supporting efforts to design climate-adaptive, user-friendly urban environments with historical and ecological value.
