Abstract

Today, the importance and necessity of paying attention to climatic conditions in the design and construction of all buildings, especially those that are directly used by humans and living beings, has been proven. In this research, using the statistics of climatic parameters of precipitation, temperature and relative humidity of the synoptic station of Andimeshk city during a period of 40 years (1976-2015), the possibility of climate change in this city is investigated and further to evaluate its effects on the comfort climate of the region. Using the monthly bio-climatic model, the optimal months for the comfort of human physiology were determined in 4 ten-year periods. The results of this research show that during the last decades in the studied area, the climatic element of precipitation is decreasing, but the trend of changes in the temperature parameter is an upward trend, which has caused the warming of the studied area. Also, the bioclimatic of Andimeshk city has undergone changes in recent decades, so that it has hot to cold weather conditions throughout the year. In addition, the other results obtained in this research are that in terms of round-the-clock comfort, day and night in the early decades were suitable (moderate) in some months, while in the last decades of the period, it changed to warm conditions. and their humidity index has changed to humidity group 1 (0-30% humidity).
