Good ventilation keeps a house cool and healthy without depending on power. This guide explains how cross-ventilation is planned.

Ventilation and cross-breeze in Hargeisa.

A cross-breeze moves air through a room when openings sit on opposite walls. Position windows and doors so the air has a clear path, and add high openings to let warm air leave.

Ventilation is designed with the openings, not added afterwards. The window sizes and positions on the drawing are what make a room breathe.
