While modern scientific developments in 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 these different climates. This leads to the proposal of an identical comfort zone for all human beings in all the 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 compare the conditions of environmental comfort in modern and traditional architectures using the Giovanni comfort model and to propose four different temperamental models for adjusting climatic comfort based on different temperaments and humors. The current study uses an analytic-inferential method. In this study, at first we introduce and discuss the principles of traditional medicine about the temperamental comfort of human beings in four different temperamental and climatic regions and based on these discussions four different cities; namely, Amol, Bushehr, Ardebil, and Kashan, are chosen for the analysis. In these cities, Giovanni instructions for providing comfort are analyzed. Based on the findings and by analyzing the Giovanni charts and the temperamental characteristic chart it is concluded that based on the principles of the traditional medicine, in cold areas, the cold tolerance threshold is lower and in hot regions, hotness tolerance threshold is higher. This is because of the consistency and coordination between the individuals’ temperaments which reinforces the temperamental ability of people in that region. Considering the provision of temperamental health temperature, four charts based on four climates are proposed.
