Bermed plans which are categorized as subterranean provide overall cooling and daylight accessibility of the building all-sided. The factuality of bermed structures are investigated closely for deriving particular data for discussion, from the influential role of outdoor temperature to the maintenance and sound proofing, proportionate perspective and natural damages regarding contemporary buildings. The angular space in bermed constructions leaned upward to cover the roof so that it can support the whole building. Such a feature lets the sun radiate from the south and heat inside. Besides, the structures are earth-sheltered, economical and environmentally friendly at the same time, as with the cooling systems and sunlight. The bermed structures can fulfill the predicted decrease of construction energy utilization and provision of thermal comfort excessively. This study evaluates the impact of bermed structures energy consumption and thermal comfort on Kish Island where ventilation systems and electrical charges are remarkably high. Kariz is a part of Kish Island with high concern. Kariz is the subterranean city of twelve-meter depth below the ground and eight meter high. It holds three aqueducts and two hundred and seventy four wells including recreational resorts and touristic locations available for visitors of archeological aqueduct of Kish Island. Some factors like geometry, building materials and climate are major issues to concern in case of energy and thermal function. Kish Island obviously is in need of productive measures taken for perfect ventilation in order to reduce the consecutive application of cooling systems which are crucial in saving energy and amending the thermal comfort.
