Windcatchers – An ancient method for cooling air.

How they work, from the History with Kayleigh YouTube channel.

“A wind catcher is never by itself, but always accompanied by at least one other wind tower on the same building. The Wind catcher catches the wind, which is then funnelled down and will flow throughout the building, the cool air will flow underneath the warm air, and the pressure will push the warm air upwards which then rises and flows throughout another wind tower which in turn releases the warmed up air.”

Could this be used in modern construction to cool buildings?
