The Most Important Effective Factors on Climate and Human Thermal Comfort

Abstract This article investigates the critical climatic factors influencing human thermal comfort, emphasizing their implications for sustainable architectural design. The study focuses on six key variables: solar radiation, ambient temperature, air humidity, precipitation, wind, and sky conditions. These elements collectively shape regional weather patterns and dictate heating, cooling, and ventilation requirements in buildings. Solar radiation serves as the primary driver of temperature variations, while ambient temperature and humidity modulate evaporative cooling and human comfort. Precipitation moderates temperature extremes, and wind influences convective heat exchange and air infiltration. Sky conditions, including cloud cover and sunshine duration, regulate solar radiation availability and nighttime heat retention. The findings underscore the importance of integrating climate-responsive techniques into urban planning to mitigate environmental challenges, lower carbon footprints, and improve occupant well-being. By proposing adaptive solutions tailored to varying climatic zones, this study contributes to the development of sustainable, resilient cities aligned with global environmental goals.
