Natural Ventilation Guidelines

Natural ventilation guidelines aim to optimize the flow of fresh air into buildings using natural forces like wind and temperature differences. They recommend proper window placement, including operable windows on opposite sides of a space, to create cross-breezes that enhance indoor air quality and comfort. Properly designed openings and ventilation paths help remove indoor pollutants, reduce energy use, and maintain a comfortable environment without mechanical systems. These guidelines consider factors like building orientation, local climate, and occupant needs to ensure effective, sustainable airflow, promoting healthier indoor spaces while minimizing environmental impact.
