    A Wind Scoop is a traditional Persian architectural element used in hot, dry climates of the Middle East and Africa. It works by circulating and cooling indoor air through openings in the top walls that allow prevailing winds to enter the building and draw heated air up and out of the main space.

    A Wind Scoop is a traditional architecture element made by

    Persian. It is commonly used at hot and dry climate areas


    such as Middle East and Africa. It works by prevailing winds
    and allow air to enter the building through the openings
    located at the top walls of the building. it basically works by
    circulating and cooling the inside air when the air comes
    from the top to the main space and then it is drawn back up
    to the atmosphere

    A rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side of a


    mountain range that is protected from the prevailing
    winds. ... As the air rises up over a mountain range, the air
    cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. On this
    side of the mountains, called the windward side,
    precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow.

    A berm is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier


    (usually made of compacted soil) separating two
    areas. It can serve as a fortification line, a
    border/separation barrier, in industrial settings, or in
    many other applications. The word berm originates
    in the Middle Dutch and came into usage in English
    via French

    DRUMWALL A stack of black, water-filled drums placed


    on the inside of a window wall to absorb solar heat and
    then release it slowly into the interior of a building.
    Trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect-gain,
    where sunlight first strikes a solar energy collection surface, thermal mass, which is located between
    the sun and the space.

    A solarium, also known as a green house


    or glass enclosure, is a type of sunroom
    addition that is made entirely of glass. The
    original purpose of a solarium is to trap as
    much light as possible. This allows for an
    outdoor feel without having to leaving the
    com fort of your home

    Brise soleil, sometimes brise-soleil (French: [bʁiz sɔlɛj]; lit.


    "sun breaker"), is an architectural feature of a building that
    reduces heat gain within that building by deflecting sunlight.
    Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets,
    including Earth. On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and
    are westerly winds (flowing west to east). Their paths typically have a meandering shape.

    The Hadley cell, named after


    George Hadley, is a global scale
    tropical atmospheric circulation
    that features air rising near the
    Equator, flowing poleward at a
    height of 10 to 15 kilometers
    above the earth's surface,
    descending in the subtropics,
    and then returning equatorward
    near the surface

    Ferrel cell, model of the mid-latitude segment of Earth's wind circulation, proposed by
    William Ferrel (1856). In the Ferrel cell, air flows poleward and eastward near the surface and
    equatorward and westward at higher altitudes; this movement is the reverse of the airflow in the
    Hadley cell

    Polar cell. The smallest and weakest cells are the Polar cells, which extend from between 60 and
    70 degrees north and south, to the poles. Air in these cells sinks over the highest latitudes and flows
    out towards the lower latitudes at the surface.
