• Single sided ventilation –

When significant ventilation apertures, such as doors and windows, are located on only one exterior wall, single sided ventilation occurs. Air exchange is aided by wind turbulence, outward apertures interacting with local external airstreams, and local stacks. This is seen in Figure 2.10.

• Cross ventilation –

When inflow and outflow apertures in exterior walls are connected by an internal flow route, this happens. The combined influence of wind and temperature differential determines flow characteristics. (See Figure 2.11)
