By looking at the traditional architecture of Iran and exploring it in any context we can discover mysteries and secrets which were the reasons for the success and survival of this architecture. While modern scientific developments in the climatic design field determine rules and regulations for providing comfort in any region, they do not consider physical and temperamental differences among people residing in different climates. While in the traditional architecture, the climatic rules for each region were shaped by the deep relation between the human population and the environment of the region. The main objective of the current study is to accurately assess the climatic-temperamental comfort level in traditional houses. Accordingly, four traditional houses in four different climates were selected and using EcoTech software application, the temperature in these traditional houses is analyzed and the Gioni chart method was analyzed for providing environmental comfort. Based on the findings about the studied houses, the conditions of the house provide a lower comfort level than Gioni comfort level and this is less because of technological shortages but more because of providing climatic-temperamental health temperature.
