The results indicated that analysis of building method, types of spatial operations of baber, surveying the location, types of form and dimensions of plan, determining the type of interaction with surrounding spaces are among the factors that affect the use of barber chamber and could affect user's comfort as a sustainable model in creating natural ventilation space.
