Development of a new rating system for existing green schools in Iran

Green University and academic performance: An empirical study on UI GreenMetric and World University Rankings

“…Similarly, Hajrasouliha (2017) develops a campus score based on three attributes (urbanism, greenness, and campus living) and calculates the scores for US universities. Meiboudi et al (2018) propose a rating model for the greening level of the schools in Iran. Furthermore, Zhao and Zou (2018) develop University Greenness Index (UGI) for Chinese universities.…”

“…Adiwiyata school is a school that has received the Adiwiyata award as a reward for its participation in an environmental conservation program and implementation of EE in schools (Ministry of Environment 2012). Children who grow up in the EE system will lead what they learn at their homes and surroundings, so they will contribute to a green environment later (Meiboudi et al 2018).
