N2  -  <p>This paper investigates the experiences and perceptions of tourists regarding the architectural techniques employed in Iran's desert bathhouses, with a focus on energy conservation and heat loss prevention strategies. In the modern era, with increasing concerns about climate change and the conservation of natural resources, the importance of traditional architectural principles as effective solutions for optimizing energy use and preserving resources has gained greater attention. Iran's traditional bathhouses, particularly in hot and arid climates, are recognized as exemplary models of specialized designs and advanced heating systems. These structures have not only successfully addressed climatic challenges but have also emerged as symbols of Iran's architectural history and culture. The research methodology of this paper includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses, conducted through in-depth interviews with tourists and experts. This approach allows researchers to explore tourists' perceptions of the technical features and functional aspects of the bathhouses, gaining a deeper understanding of their experiences. The findings of this study indicate that tourists' general understanding of traditional architectural features, especially in terms of energy conservation and heat loss reduction, remains limited. This paper seeks to answer whether tourists are more focused on the technical aspects of these structures or their aesthetic qualities. Additionally, it examines the factors that tourists consider important in evaluating the energy efficiency and thermal performance of these buildings. Ultimately, the results of this research can lead to the development of innovative strategies for better and more effective utilization of Iran's traditional bathhouses as part of the country's cultural and historical heritage. A better understanding of tourists' perspectives and perceptions can contribute to the optimal preservation and restoration of these structures and offer a more comprehensive view of the impact of traditional architecture on their thermal performance.</p>
