    Yes, this is what this thread is about.

    Apart from water 💦 management, harnessing the wind for. cooling purposes has already been invented a long time ago, the #Windcatcher|s  in the #IrNuan oasis City of #Yazd with its #Badgirs (#wind towers):

    Needless to say, Roman and Pharaonic technologies, too.

  6. Ever heard of a windcatcher? Long before modern tech, ancient civilizations cooled their homes using tall towers and pure wind power.

    No fans, no electricity—just design brilliance. We’re only now realizing how smart they were.

    I've watched this interesting clip about a man-made symbiosis for the ingenious fertilizer solution two times. Not being an architect, IDK if the pigeons are staying cool in these "roosting towers" built for them. They might not need an A/C then.

    Humans, however, need another solution. And they can be found on the #MiddleEast, too, the #Windcatcher towers:

  15. "First, as air is caught by the opening of a wind catcher, it is funneled down to the dwelling below, depositing any sand or debris at the foot of the tower. Then the air flows throughout the interior of the building, sometimes over subterranean pools of water for further cooling. Eventually, warmed air will rise and leave the building through another tower or opening, aided by the pressure within the building." #persian #AC #windcatcher #bâdgir

  30. @heiseonline Die norwegischen #WindCatcher Systeme hatte ich noch gar nicht auf dem Schirm!

    Schwimmende Offshore-Windkraft ohne diesen dämlichen Größenwahnsinn.

    Keine Fundamente, keine Stahltürme, einfach nur Propeller in den Wind hängen.

    Mehr davon!
