The designer should take into account that the night air is often saturated with moisture. This problem can be resolved by passing the night air through only the hollowed mass materials and not through the inhabitable space. The design of the building will create different high and low pressure areas along with eddies. The shape of the building can create greater low and high pressure areas which provides greater ventilation in fall - spring, but also increases the infiltration rate of operable windows or vents when the building is closed during the summer and winter. The winter winds have the ability to remove large amounts of heat from the building.
Infiltration is increased by the creation of low and high pressure areas around the building.
In most areas of Louisiana, the winter winds are the strongest except for hurricanes. The building should be well insulated and sealed to prevent heat loss. Buildings can be sited to use other buildings to block unwanted winter winds. Other forms of windbreaks can be created with vegetation, land forms, and fences.
