Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Designing your structure with cross ventilation in mind is a good idea, the wind tower works best when combined with a cooling tower that utilizes evaporation of water inside the tower to provide cooling but this only works well in climates with low humidity to maximize evaporation. Still a good idea and I built on top of a hill with cross ventilation in mind, no A/C in my home but with intelligent design it never gets above 75 F in the summer, inside our home.
