Abstract
In this paper, the microclimatic characteristics of Khamis Mushayt have been identified by analyzing isopleths for the dry bulb air temperature, wet bulb air temperature, relative humidity of air, wind speed and direction, and solar radiation. Comfort temperature ranges have been prepared and a comfort zone chart has been developed by applying these ranges to the dry bulb temperature isopleth. Based on the microclimatic characteristics, recommendations are presented for the design of buildings in the Khamis Mushayt area and may be extended for use in similar climates.
