Özet: This study is based on traditional ventilation methods. Since wind energy, one of the renewable energy resources, has long been used in settlement designs and practices, it is examined as the most important goal of the study. Architect Arastu (in 4th century BC) and Roman Architect Vitrivius (in 1st century BC) first dwelled upon wind energy management in urban design and architecture in historical period. It is intended to evaluate Wind Catcher as a cooling system and as the most important natural ventilation method of buildings. Thus, wind catcher is commonly seen in local architecture of Iran where there is a hot, arid and humid climate. Cities that have been designed for centuries according to climate conditions and weather conditions in hot-arid and hot-humid regions of Iran are taken as examples. Traditional Iranian architecture is directly affected from sun, wind, humidity, cold, hot air and all other weather conditions in various regions.
