The basic mechanics of the air movements in the room are quite simple. During warm weather, the air inside your rooms are heats up. Since warm air rises, it tends to float out of the high ventilation spaces. This convection movement naturally draws in cooler outside air to replace the hot air that just exited.
Air that blows across the roof in that any season of the year also acts to vacuum air from the roof space. The wind blowing across the roof can create a partial vacuum on the leeward side of a roof.
But in my opinion, there is a better ventilation system available that pulls vast quantities of air from an attic space no matter from which direction the air blows. I am talking about the traditional wind turbine vents. Some people call these type of ventilation as a whirlybird vents. They are round metal ventilators that have fins in them and stick up from the roof surface perhaps 19 - 21 inches. The fins are located in a dome-shaped housing that spins each time the wind blows across it. As faster the wind speed, the faster the turbine will rotates.
As we have seen that the turbine vents have been used from many years in the residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings. The vents are very affordable, easy to install, and they pump vast amounts of air from attic spaces, and give you cool and healthy environment that is good for your health and buildings.
