cooling, the best location for windows is at or below body level. Remember
that body level changes with room use; body level in bedrooms is at bed
height, while body level in offices is at sitting height.
Vertical placement is also affected by window type since different

Window Type. Table 2, in
association with Figure 31, provides
data pertaining to the effects of
various window types on airflow.

Window Shape. Window
inlet shape is the most important
factor in determining the efficiency
of wind cooling. The horizontal
shape is the best at capturing and
admitting winds for more angles of
wind incidence. A horizontal window
performs better than both square and
vertical windows in perpendicular
winds, and improves its
