What are good ways to increase air flow in a home with few windows and oriented unfavorably to the local wind direction (cheaply)? (lemmy.ml)

I've been racking my brain lately thinking of what are good methods to increase internal airflow in a house with few windows, all facing the wrong direction to catch wind. What are your ideas?

Edit: Breaking a wall to make more windows isn't an option.

Suck the air out. Pushing air in with fans creates a higher pressure zone in the house. You won't move as much air. On the upper floors where it's warmer suck the air out of what windows you have, but push the air in at the lower windows. Personally my house doesn't have any windows, this is Lemmy we use Linux here.

I have been trying to slip in Linux references when I can. I swear 25% of our user base is Linux SysAdmins.

That's impossible, as it would mean 25% of our user base is also furry. Wait a second...
