Cooling production strategy is one of the ancient and indigenous strategies in the cultural region of Halilrood. The cultural region of Halilrood has long summers that sometimes last for eight months. So, it was impossible to live in this area without cooling strategies. Through the current study, structures such as Kavar, Adoorband, Yakhtekan and Bonbolook were investigated. The Adoorband materials are mostly plants, palm trees, nettle and Adoor. Moreover, Yakhtekan is in common with Adoorband by using of nettle and Adoor, but unlike Adoorband, raw mud and brick are used to build its foundation and the walls. The Bonbolook is built without foundation and wall, it is only for outdoor use and to enjoy Sho-bad. All of these structures have been used in the geography of Halilrood, Makran and Hormozgan. Consequently, the main purpose of the present paper is to answer the following question: What environmental and climate-based structures emerged in cooling production? In this study, research data is gathered by observation, field studies, interviews, and library tools and discussed in a descriptive and analytical manner. The first and the most important finding of this study is that structures such as Kavar, Adoorband, Yakhtekan and Bonbolook have cooling function. And also, they were used to preserve perishable food during the hot season
