The International Journal of Ventilation, Vol. 7 N°3, March 2009

The well-known case of a simple naturally ventilated building with two openings, uniform internal temperature and opposing wind and buoyancy forces is re-visited. In particular, it is shown that the effect of wind turbulence can play a deciding role on whether or not multiple solutions occur. It is also argued that in practice the number of possible solutions is three rather than two.
