Abstract: The Mongolian traditional house, called “Ger” is a typical accommodation of Mongolian nomads and has reflected representative artistic and regional styles of the country. It is also made from natural resources and is a comfortable dwelling in which to live. It has a architectural design that includes a half sphere structural form and a round floor. The Ger has several characteristics including good illumination, heating and air circulation, it can be easily disassembled, transported and assembled and also features few other structural components to protect against the wind and earthquakes. This study is aimed at building a database for relevant studies by analyzing the heating and air circulation systems of Ger and further proposing the technology that can apply to residential buildings by a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis.
