The WindFull home is a micro house situated in the outskirts of Yazd Iran. This region of Iran has a hot and arid climate. Summer temperatures of Yazd frequently rize to 40 degrees celsius with scorching sun and little to no humidity. The goal of this project is to create a structure that utilizes sustainable design and takes advantage of the natural climate of the area. The WindFull home takes inspiration from the design practices that ancient persian engineers formulated in the past. Using wind catchers, thermal mass materials, and the qanat water system the city of Yazd was able to efficiently cool its homes and structures by harnessing the passive winds of the city.

The shell of the WindFull home is constructed out of casted concrete, a material with a high thermal mass, allowing the structure to slowly absorb heat during the day and release the heat throughout the night. On the highest faces of the exterior facade are slats, which mimic the wind catcher tower system. The slats allow the cold air to enter and circulate hot and stagnant air inside. Cool air entering through the slats creates a pressure difference with the warmer air in the lower portion of the structure creating a current and providing natural air circulation. To aid in the cooling of the home the building is connected to a qanat water system. A stream of water under the earth runs under the home bringing cold air from below ground. The introduction of cool air currents from vents in the floor provide an additional form of air circulation. In addition solar window skylights have been placed on the multiple roofs. These windows contain solar cells that convert the sunlight into usable energy. These four systems of sustainable engineering inspired the design of The WindFull Home.
