This research examines and analyzes the impact of wind on the formation of wind-catcher architecture in Hormozgan province, focusing particularly on wind-catchers as one of the key elements in the design of indigenous architecture. Utilizing multiple sensors and collecting meteorological data, this study demonstrates that wind-catchers can effectively control temperature and humidity, improving thermal comfort conditions in buildings. The results of field studies indicate that the temperature in the lower rooms of wind-catchers is on average 3 to 4 degrees cooler than the surrounding environment. This temperature reduction is due to the creation of lower air pressure in the lower section of the wind-catcher compared to the ambient air pressure, which leads to a continuous airflow from the environment into the wind-catcher. Based on the calculations performed, the use of a single wind-catcher can result in an annual energy saving of 131,328 kilowatt-hours. Furthermore, considering the presence of 168 wind-catchers in the port of Lavan, it can be estimated that the annual savings for this port amounts to approximately 43 billion rials. This research also explores strategies to enhance the performance of wind-catchers, including insulation and the installation of wind turbines at their openings. These modifications could contribute to increasing the efficiency of wind-catchers and energy production. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the importance of revitalizing and updating indigenous architectural techniques for the optimal use of renewable energy and suggests that architects and designers should leverage these rich experiences to design sustainable and efficient buildings.
