This paper presents the study on one aspect of natural ventilation, which is cross ventilation. The study is aimed to investigate the optimal louvre window type to maximize the wind speed required to enter the room in order to maintain the comfort ventilation inside the room. This aspect is necessary because the vertical housing is aimed for fishermen at MuaraAngke that have low income economy and could not afford to pay for excess energy usage for air conditioning. The result shows that not all type of louvre could maximize the wind speed required. The steps of the study is as follows: (1) to study the optimum wind speed required for comfort ventilation, (2) to study the aspects of cross ventilation, (3) to study the optimal louvre window type that can maximize the wind speed required.
