Natural ventilation has gained prominence in recent times as a bespoke method of ventilating buildings. The two fundamental principles of natural ventilation are stack effect and wind driven ventilation. This paper reviews miscellaneous wind driven ventilation designs with respect to traditional means such as wind towers and more modern techniques including turbine ventilators and wind catchers. A distinction is made between specific types of wind driven ventilation techniques depending on their operation and mode of engagement with the wind. For example, a static wind catcher is classified as passive; a rotating wind cowl as a directed passive technique and a rotating turbine ventilator is classified as outright active due to its constant rotation with the wind. A table summarising the review is presented at the end with corresponding references.
