“…In fact, Tal is an underground communication network between two family members [1]. During summer days when commuting outside the shavadoon is less than the usual, the connection between the two neighbor shavadoon is provided by a Tal to supply the exchange of the food and other daily needs [18]. Shavadoon is also connected a nearby river or aqueduct through a Tal to benefit the flow of cool air [1].…”

Dezful city, located in southwest of Iran, has a hot and semi-humid climate. In the past, architectures used design solutions to provide the cold of living space. Shavadoon is one of the most important design for reaching this goal. Shavadoon is an underground space in traditional buildings of Dezful city designed with a trend of respect and protection of natural environment. Shavadoon, linked with its peripheral environment, provided an appropriate space for sheltering residents in summers hot weather without a need of energy of fossil fuels. Exploring the causes of thermal comfort in this underground space with no need to non-renewable energies was the aim of this article. In this article passive cooling of shavadoon was reviewed in a descriptive and analytic procedure. Results indicated that the architectural design of shavadoon is such that cool down the shavadoon through three types of cooling including the ground cooling, cooling through ventilation and evaporative cooling.

Earth to Air Heat Exchanger ETAHE or Air Ground Heat Exchanger (AGHE) is a renewable technique based on geothermal source used for many centuries in arid and desert regions and considered as a principal element of vernacular and traditional architecture. Arid regions are characterized by a severe winter and summer weather conditions leads to a large thermal discomfort for the big part of the year. Many researchers studied the potentials of this technique to ensure thermal comfort inside buildings for summer and winter seasons. The present study is a review of numerical, experimental, parametric and economic studies of an earth to air heat exchanger with a focus on its application in semi-arid and arid regions. Using an air-to-ground heat exchanger for thermal comfort requires a deep understanding of geothermal deposits and these natural potentials and particularly in desert and arid regions.
