The desert city of Yazd in Iran is famous for the “badgir” or windcatcher. It is a simple chimney that protrudes from the top of buildings and, with no moving parts, magically transforms the gentle warm desert breeze into a cool draught in the rooms below. I am glad this has now made its way to the west by an Iranian.

I did not know that the windcatcher was persian in origin. There is a new hotel in Bangalore built by a Corporate which has used this technology and the effect is tremendous. They certainly will earn carbon points for this as carbon trading is such a money maker these days. But these technologies, which were originally developed by local people, will have no access to this.
