This study deals with the environmental of vernacular architecture in a hot and arid region like desert areas in West Asia and North Africa. One of the most characteristics of vernacular architecture in Iran is the wind catcher, domestically called as a Badgeer, which takes air in higher sky inside a building. In this paper, various wind catchers were classified from the function. Then, the thermal environment of a “Ab Anbar”, a traditional reservoir building, was analyzed under the summer condition by means of CFD. As a result, the amount of inflow at early morning from the wind catcher is more than 2 times of that of daytime. It was shown that the wind catcher has effectively taken the early morning wind with low temperature.
