It’s very important to consider the ventilation in this climate; we must avoid as much as possible air exchanges and infiltration with hot air, this meaning that is better to avoid natural ventilation in the hottest hours of the day especially during sunny and hot days; in the contrary during coldest hours like during the night we can use natural ventilation to cool down without any type of plants. Natural ventilation is very important to the health and comfort of the people inside buildings, and reduce stagnation, a phenomenon that can create discomfort. To allow natural ventilation we can simply open window in opposite façade, and open internal door to allow natural movement of air but only if there are no problem for acoustic insulation. During hottest hours we consider avoiding natural ventilation closing the window and limit as much as possible infiltration, especially through the windows.
