The upwind rooms, thanks to the shape of the openings, are the most cooled, especially
the lobby (the Fountain Room), at the ground floor, and the corresponding room above,
where the highest temperature is 27°C (Fig.16). From the Fountain Room, which is in
overpressure due to the wind effects, the air is transmitted to the adjacent areas on the
ground floor and first floor at a maximum speed of 0.85m/s. The western locals, are
warmer, because the breeze comes in them with less intensity and after being heated
(Fig.17).
