Abstract

There are many energy budget models and classifications of urban climate layers,
field measurements, simulations and researches in the field of urban climatology that
concerns about the mutual impact of climate and urban form, (Landsberg, 1973), (Oke,
1984), (Mayer and Hoppe, 1987), (Golany, 1996), (Schiller and Evans, 1996), (Eliasson,
2000), (Arnfield, 2003) and (Oke, 2006). Although there is a magnificent progress in the
field, but some few promising world wide projects (Oke, 2006), and some design studies
and methodologies (Bitan, 1988), (Pearlmutter et al., 1999) and (Ali-Toudert and Mayer,
2007), the application for that knowledge still away from the urban form sensitive design,
because they have been done from the physical, mathematical and meteorological points
of view but haven't been investigated till now from the applied urban planning and design
point of view specially at local scale of a neighborhood climate. The need is for all
parties of the urban field as in real process, the scientific circle won't be closed without
the architects, urban designers, planners, Econo-sociologists and psychologists'
participation in the model. However this extensive paper is prepared to introduce this
large field of knowledge about how to design urban fabric and patterns in accordance to
climate aspects and its scales of application along with definitions concerning human
thermal comfort in the field.
