Wind is nature's ventilator. Regulating how much wind a person is exposed to has significant impact on thermal comfort. Let's see how to do it!

In more longterm implementations the wind could be funneled and directed to the ground. This might need a constant need for cooling effects which is not given in the Nordics. However, this concept could be adapted on a smaller scale for temporary installations, for example with wind sails guiding air flow into the street.

Especially in windy climates and sites wind shelter is an important factor for thermal comfort most of the year. In an urban setting a shelterbelt with several rows of trees and hedges is not a practical solution. However permeable windscreen between trunks of trees can still create evvective windshelters for windswept areas. Such a solution has the additional benefit of flexbility, whereby windscreens can be removed in the hot season to allow for ventilation.
