Free Running Buildings
Modern wind catchers provide passive building ventilation and cooling.
Ancient Persian wind catchers, or bâdgirs, have mostly been replaced with modern air-conditioning systems. But wind catchers are now being revitalized through modern design. Free Running Buildings has developed a wind tower technology that provides passive building ventilation and cooling. It can lower the temperature of incoming air by between 3–6°C and demands less energy than other cooling systems. With modern air-conditioning systems being major energy consumers, such innovative approaches toward natural ventilation and cooling systems are gaining attention. The company, in collaboration with Qatar University, has adapted this technique for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The cooling technology has been installed at the 40,000 seat Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.
