7. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

   Wind driven ventilation arises from the different pressures created by wind around a building or structure, and openings being formed on the perimeter which then permit flow through the building. Buoyancy-driven ventilation occurs as a result of the directional buoyancy force that results from temperature differences between the interior and ...
