• Resumen

  • Bandar-Lengeh features a stable pattern in the local architecture of South Iran, including two operative natural air-conditioning elements: Moshabak and Wind catchers. Since there are quantitative studies on these stable elements, this study aims to qualitatively analyze the structure and function of these local elements in Bandar-lengeh. In the first stage, information is obtained from the library, valid resources, and formal documents. Subsequently, active observation is conducted at the presumed location to collect, analyze, and extract natural air-conditioning elements (Wind catchers and Moshabak) from 273 buildings aged between 40 and 70. Additionally, in the third stage, the effect of temperature was observed by combining Wind catchers and Moshabak and placing them in various locations. Consequently, after evaluating and examining, the results indicate that every architectural element effectively met the residents’ needs for natural air-conditioning.
