Passive thermal comfort methods have replaced active methods in Iran's architecture over the past century, resulting in increased energy consumption costs, environmental crises, and considerations. Thus, sustainable architectural features in hot and humid climates are essential to increase energy consumption in today's world. One of the prominent examples of energy optimization in the architecture of hot and humid climates is the wind towers in Pohl port. Investigating and understanding wind towers' behavioral patterns can effectively achieve sustainable architectural solutions. The present study aimed to assess the typology of wind towers in Pohl port as an example of traditional architecture based on sustainable development patterns and to identify the most energy-efficient type of wind tower. This was an applied study in terms of purpose. The research methodology was a computer simulation, and the required data were collected through the library and field method. DesignBuilder software was used to perform a quantitative analysis. Initially, the historical houses with square-plan wind towers were selected. Then, 21 houses were evaluated based on their physical characteristics and categorized into three main groups. The results indicated that the square plan wind towers with three openings exhibited superior performance than the wind towers with two or four openings. Moreover, the study demonstrates that cooling output from the square plan wind towers with three openings is important in reducing energy consumption in Pohl port's hot and humid climate.
