description Both environmental concerns and sustainable development goals have led to the search for alternative energy-efficient solutions. Natural ventilation, a crucial aspect of energy-efficient building design, reduces dependence on mechanical systems and regulates indoor air quality and temperature using natural forces. It improves indoor air quality, reduces energy consumption, and lowers operating costs. This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics analysis of natural cross-ventilation in an isolated building with varying window opening geometries. u/uref showed a marked decrease in triangular geometries, while trapezoidal and reference geometries exhibited comparable declines. The airflow velocity profile revealed a U-shaped curve, with reductions observed within 0
