Abstract
The decrease in fossil fuel resources, the warming of the Earth and the increase in the cost of access to energy have become one of the most important concerns of people.between 1995 and 2011 resulted in the production of a lot of carbon dioxide gas.It is responsible for consuming more than 40% of the world's energy per building.The energy used for heating and cooling covers 60% of the energy consumed by the entire building.Reducing energy consumption for cooling and heating can significantly reduce costs; This may lead individuals to turn to technologies that reduce energy consumption.Low energy use has led to the emergence of a branch of architecture called low energy architecture.Wind is a free and valuable force that can be used for sustainable architectural purposes.Despite the importance of using inactive systems for heating and cooling buildings, wind catchers have faced a lack of interest from architects, as well as excessive research costs and government attention to this section.Current evidence indicates that there is not enough research on the modern use of traditional wind catchers, especially for hot and dry climates.The main purpose of the study is that today's many problems that have become environmental problems have solutions in traditional architecture so, it aims to use the idea of wind catchers, which is a system based on architectural solutions and works with natural energy sources for air conditioning in traditional buildings in the Middle East and especially in the hot regions of Iran, and benefiting from these systems in today's modern buildings in an advanced way.In this direction, the definition, location, working principles and typologies of wind catchers will be investigated within the scope of this study.In addition, as a result of a series of experiments and numerical analyzes on the designed modern wind catcher, it has been tried to adapt the traditional wind catcher idea to today's buildings.
