Here are some concepts to minimize the use of mechanical ventilation through design: 1. Optimize building orientation and layout to maximize natural cross ventilation. Locate windows on opposite sides of buildings and spaces to allow cross breezes. 2. Incorporate overhangs, light shelves, or other shading elements to block summer sun but allow winter sun to enter. This helps reduce cooling loads and the need for mechanical ventilation. 3. Use thermal mass materials like exposed concrete to absorb heat f
