Summary	Cross ventilation induced by wind pressure is a conventional way to control indoor temperature, but its design had not been rationalized by theories and database for the prediction of airflow rate. In this study, two kinds of wind tunnel had been used for detailed measurement of cross ventilation and for accumulating wind pressure coefficient on the building models.
