What are good ways to increase air flow in a home with few windows and oriented unfavorably to the local wind direction (cheaply)? (lemmy.ml)

I've been racking my brain lately thinking of what are good methods to increase internal airflow in a house with few windows, all facing the wrong direction to catch wind. What are your ideas?

Edit: Breaking a wall to make more windows isn't an option.

where it’s warmer suck the air out of what windows you have, but push the air in at the lower windows

computer case airflow!

Fuck! Exactly the idea that hatched in my head.

So lower front fans are more efficient to suck in cold air than higher ones, while the exhaust fan in the back is higher and more efficient for moving hot air away from the case as hot air rises (ryzens).

I suppose that is an accurate comparison.
