Right now summer is just around the corner (or already feels like it’s here). So why not use the sun for office lighting, and the wind for air conditioning. You might be surprised at how wonderful it feels to let the real world back into your hermetically sealed office box.
This suggestion made by attendees at SVC’s 101 Things Designers Can Do to Save the Earth workshop on May 30,2007.

Except when your office building is air conditioned by a central air system and you don’t have individual office climate control. If you open the windows while the building is centrally cooling, you’re only going to let the air conditioning escape and make the system work all that much harder to get to its cooling goal. Many buildings work this way.
