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.

    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.
