Use of sustainable wind energy in traditional architecture of windmills in Iran
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
One of the main principles of sustainablearchitecture is the use of renewable energy. Aerodynamic force wind and its energywere effective in ventilation, heating, cooling and milling the grain inhot-dry areas of Iran. According to studies on the local, windmills known asAsbads. Windmills (asbads) are located in theeastern part of Iran (the southern part of Khorasan and Sistan).people in this partof Iran due to lack of water used 120-day winds for milling wheat and producingflour. The major purpose of this paper was to explore how windmills in Iranwork via using the sustainable wind energy and analyze the indexes ofsustainable architecture in such traditional buildings. History, origin andperformance manner of windmills in using the sustainable wind energy areproposed by means of descriptive-analytical methods and collecting data throughhistorical study and field study methods. Then principles and indexes ofsustainable architecture in vernacular architecture of Windmills (asbads) arementioned. Finally, it is concluded thatrecognition, introduction, and conservation of such buildings throughdocumentation, proposing comprehensive plans for restoration and registeringthem in the World Heritage List can be effective on building an appropriateenvironment, improving the energy consumption pattern, attracting tourists andcultural, artistic and economic development. Moreover, creativity of theIranian desert dwellers in building these monuments and how they have adaptedto the nature are displayed.
