Any air movement across the skin creates a cooling effect through increased evaporation. This works in high humidity areas, as long as the temperature is below 40°C (104 degrees F). Townsville is a high humidity area with average summer temperatures in the low thirties. This makes it a perfect region to utilise prevailing breezes for maximum cooling benefits.
You can harness breezes by:
1. Maximising access to breezes;
2. Enabling ventilation by convection; and
3. Creating air movement.
