The document analyzes the indoor and outdoor temperatures, wind patterns, and sunlight exposure at a house on May 17th, 2016. Cross ventilation is used to cool indoor spaces, with hot air rising and helping to pull air upwards through openings. The ground floor living room and first floor bedroom were chosen for analysis due to their large sun exposure and higher temperatures compared to other areas. Wind predominantly comes from the southwest and northeast.
