This paper analyses the cooling capacity and the possibilities of energy saving due to a correct natural ventilation.A correct exposure of the buildings to prevailing winds in a mediterranean area allows the reducing of cooling loads even in non-bioclimatic buildings, and without any cost. A correct natural ventilation offers great cooling capacity and possibilities of energy savings.
