I’ve been racking my brain lately thinking of what are good methods to increase internal airflow in a house with few windows, all facing the wrong direction to catch wind. What are your ideas?
Edit: Breaking a wall to make more windows isn’t an option.
I do this all the time, just stick 2 fans in windows on opposite sides of the house, 1 facing in, 1 facing out. Bam; cross ventilation!
Bonus tip: set them a couple feet away from the window frame so that you create a venturi effect and move a ton more air.
I would have thought putting the fans tight in the window would move the most air. Can you tell me more about this Venturi magic?
I stole this from someone in a different comment: https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw?si=aLTlAMKv_3p3ri2q
It doesn’t answer your question, but it demonstrates his answer.

I have square fans that I sit directly on the window cill.
You’ll probably still get more air moved if they’re sitting back on a stool or table, unfortunately
Meh, it’s good enough without being inconvenient.
