Figure Lengend Snippet: The CFD contour plot of the cross-sectional plan shows the locations of high and low wind pressures, and air velocity in the model, generated using Autodesk CFD 2019.

Article Snippet: From the previous proposed designs for windcatcher integration, we noticed that the natural ventilation rates improved by 45.7% when equipped with three windcatchers distributed across the living room and bedroom areas, also we can notice that either a triple-windcatcher system (living room, balcony, and bedroom 3) or a dual-windcatcher system (living room and bedroom 3) is recommended, depending on construction budget constraints, as shown in Fig. .
