In the Middle East, the utilization of windcatchers dates back to thousands of years ago Particularly in Iran. The application of modern windcatchers specifically in populous indoor environments including schools or workplaces such as office buildings is now widely prevalent. The UK is one of the countries benefitting from the installation of more than 7000 windcatchers in recent years.
