Abstract
Climatic and weather conditions have a significant impact on creating a sense of comfort in any architectural space. Therefore, it is essential to know the climatic conditions of each region and the associated measures. In fact, creating thermal comfort for people and providing them with the means of comfort for a better life space in terms of climatic conditions are the bases of the formation of urban and rural residential. Climatic architectural design is possible given the climatic data and thermal needs of the space to be built. The purpose of this study is to identify and investigate the weather conditions of Yazd Township, Iran. To do so, climate type of Yazd province was initially validated and then the range of thermal comfort was measured through different methods followed with the presentation of architectural solutions in accordance with the climate of this city. The present study is descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology and an applied study in terms of the approach. For this purpose, first by visiting the Meteorological Research Center, Meteorological Organization of Yazd Province, the meteorological data of 23 years (1996-2019) of this city was obtained, then using the climatic classification methods (Koppen, Emberger and DeMarton), the type of climate was identified. Next, by determining the thermal comfort indicators of the building and with the help of Olgyay, Mahani and Givoni bioclimatic charts, the intensity and extent of the drought period and the limits of thermal comfort were calculated. Finally, recommendations are presented for designing residential spaces in accordance with the climate.
