ABSTRACT: Yazd traditional houses are valuable and precious inheritance from our ancestors; therefore, some actions such as changing their application must be taken in order to protect and maintain them. Changing the application of these buildings to some others such as educational, cultural and entertainment centers leads to consumption of nonrenewable energies to prepare thermal comfort for their users. However, the consumption of nonrenewable energies can be minimized using potentialities of these houses. This investigation tries to study thermal behavior of the wind catcher room of Rasoulian house in Yazd which nowadays has been changed into a classroom, for architecture students. In addition to thermal behavior at the traditional status, climatic methods which were implemented at this space are also introduced and analyzed; this study also reviews some other researches in order to find some solutions for improving thermal behavior and minimizing nonrenewable energy consumption. Therefore, some methods are explained to use the potentialities of this building with making minimum changes in the body of the building to prepare thermal comfort for its users. Keywords: The Wind Catcher, Thermal Comfort, Natural Ventilation, Solar Vent Hole, Rasoulian House.
