Selective ventilation is a bioclimatic design strategy for buildings proposed by Givoni when air humidity is low and when the application of strategies such as cross ventilation would result in the building going into hygrothermal discomfort. This is due to the fact that air currents with low humidity produce a drying effect upon the skin with subsequent discomfort. In these cases, selective ventilation makes use of the difference in enthalpy between the diurnal air and the nocturnal air, thereby cooling the interior space of buildings.
This implies that during the day the ventilation of the premises would be minimal and they must be shaded, reducing as much as possible the incidence of direct and diffuse solar radiation. In so doing we will keep the premises cool.
