Given the effects of outdoor exposure on students' mental and physical health, outdoor spaces are important in educational environments. One way to improve these spaces is to enhance their thermal comfort. This research evaluates how educational building form affects outdoor thermal comfort in Tehran. This paper also uses optimization to identify the best and worst forms across different time frames. We analyzed and categorized 92 buildings from different universities in Tehran and developed an algorithm that produced 432 forms; we then used Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug, and Galapagos to run simulations and perform optimization. The results showed that the best form over the entire investigated period was the rectangular form with an east-west extension. Comparing the best and worst forms showed a 0/215 % difference in the percentage of time the spaces have outdoor thermal comfort and a 0/133 °C difference in outdoor thermal comfort between the two forms. The best form can affect outdoor thermal comfort conditions up to 30 meters from the building on the site. Because cold stress prevails throughout the period at the site, the optimization-selected best form is partially similar to the best form for the cold seasons. Therefore, the best form has no gaps, more sun-facing surfaces, and less shading than the worst form. It also has an east-west extension.
