Abstract

The techniques employed traditionally to climatise buildings and provide cold water and ice for hot summers in iran's arid regions using solar and wind energy are described. These architectural techniques include wind towers to capture and circulate cool air to buildings, air cooling systems employing both evaporative and sensible cooling, domed roofs having an air vent at the apex for air circulation, and two ice making and storing systems. Although the development of some of these techniques date back several millenia, many of these passive cooling systems are still in use at present.
