![]() ![]() The predicted mean vote (PMV) model was used for measuring thermal comfort. The mixed strategy used in this study relies on logical reasoning and software-assisted evaluation for comparing the three scenarios. With a diachronic approach to the study of the historical Chahar Bagh Street in Isfahan, this paper investigates the impact of the structural changes on its micro-climate in three different scenarios, i.e., the street with its features during the Safavid Era (from 1501 to 1736) the street in its current status and finally a probable critical condition resulting from complete elimination of natural elements from the environment. An old technique used during the past centuries - in both hot and dry climates of the central cities of Iran - was the moderation of micro-climates via water and plants. As the urbanization expands, and the green spaces diminish, the heat islands begin to emerge. Cities directly influence micro-climates. ![]()
