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.
But doesn’t it better to keep your house at positive pressure to keep the dust out?
this is only effective if the inlet is well filtered, otherwise you will just be blowing outside dust in anyway
In theory, but by lowering the effectiveness of the fan. You could put outward facing fans in each window and a furnace dust filter on the window sucking the air inward.
Example blowing air into a balloon. The air goes into the balloon, because the balloon can expand. If you had a balloon as a house, and the fan was your mouth, your house shouldn’t expand. The air has nowhere to go, so it doesn’t blow in very effectively.
I personally kept most of my house cool by running a single window AC that has a filter and a single fan. The AC blows in at the lower levels of the shaded side of the house. The fan sucks out the hot air from the second floor One ~8,000btu AC will keep the house comfortable until it hits ~97f.
Moving air out of a house is more about sucking the air out than pushing the air in. As long as their is a flow to it.
