This diagram shows how passive ventilation can be utilized differently depending on the season. when it's winter the warm air is trapped to provide insulation & in the summer the warm air is flushed. cool air is constantly flowing through. I think it is successful because of how the air movement ribbons are a gradient to accurately show warm + cool air. Having the summer & winter conditions next to each other is a successful use of showing the passive design during different times of the year.
