Climate Determines Thermal Comfort Patterns in 12 Iranian Cities

Researchers at the University of Tehran examined 12 Iranian cities and found that the impact of human activity intensity on urban thermal comfort differs across humid, semi-arid and arid climates. Heat stress mitigation strategies must be designed according to each city's climatic characteristics.

The researchers of Tehran University found out that the impact of the intensity of human activities on urban thermal comfort in humid, semi-arid and dry climates is different in the study of 12 Iranian cities, and the solutions to reduce heat stress should be designed according to the climatic characteristics of each city.
