Abstract
Aims: Understanding the climate of a region can create an architecture that is consistent with it. Therefore, in this paper, the architectural compatibility of the village of Meymand Troglodytic has been identified as the key element of the research. The main purpose of this study is to determine the degree of adaptation of the climate element of temperature to the architecture of Meymand Troglodytic village in the heat period.

Methods: Correlation research method based on field measurements was used. Field measurements were performed on 3 August and 4 August 2019 as representative of the heat period. The temperature variable in the village of Meymand was collected by a data logger and it should be noted that the measurements were made at 6 am and 3 pm to obtain maximum and minimum temperatures.

Findings: The results of the Givoni bioclimatic diagram showed that there was a significant difference between the minimum and maximum temperatures on harvest days. Architectural findings of Meymand Troglodytic village showed that the excavated buildings in the mountain utilize high heat capacity of the soil, which can be most consistent with the climate element in the heat period. Also, the presence of suitable horizontal and frame shades, lack of high openings are other important physical factors in accordance with the climate of Meymand village in terms of temperature.

Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that almost all of the buildings in the village of Meymand are associated with the climate element of temperature during the heat period.
