Objectives This study explores the use and perceptions of thermal comfort wellbeing among local community in schoolyards Barcelona that had been transformed into accessible climate shelters. Methods We conducted a qualitative evaluation through spontaneous ethnographic approach, combining 22 non-participant observations 11 with brief interviews 76 users 18 caretakers who supervised during non-school days (June–July 2022). thematic content analysis. analyzed user characteristics, wellbeing, activities differences by age gender, social behavior, additional benefits, areas for improvement. Results Adapted were mostly visited families groups adolescents higher proportion boys. Participants reported shade provided coolness comfort, vegetation offered pleasant naturalized environments, water features enjoyed their cooling capacity play opportunities. Schoolyards mainly used as places outdoor recreation socialization. Conclusion provides policymakers evidence to support transformation shelters, creating comfortable recreational surrounding urban community.

This work presents a methodological approach for the assessment of combined effects air enthalpy variations due to presence green systems and building thermodynamics. It serves as valuable tool energy sustainability improvement urban areas defining scenarios integrated strategies with low environmental impact from perspective transition sustainability. The proposed is based on two methods, i.e., top-down bottom-up. Using thermodynamics, they allow evaluation ecosystem services in their areal distribution different built-up zones. an effective operational evaluations, focusing not only reduction anthropogenic impacts, mitigation heat islands, climate change adaptation but also promoting energy-efficient microclimate changes.
