The Venturi Effect is a well-known phenomenon in fluid dynamics. This paper outlines a detailed study of various existing structures where the Venturi Effect has been used for the increase in wind speed, either naturally, or by design. A simple structure is proposed where the wind speed amplification can be achieved. The structure is modeled using SOLIDWORKS, and wind patterns are simulated using FloXpress. Computer simulations have been used to study the effect on wind speed because of changing selected parameters of the structure under study. Guidelines are proposed for selecting design parameters for energy efficient buildings to be used in countries where other forms of energy are either not available or are very expensive.
