Protecting the building against prevailing winds also reduces heat loss, sometimes even 10%. This can be done in many ways: Vegetation, permanent partitions, shape of buildings, or the right terrain.

Coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs in the form of a growing pile are a very effective partition, protecting against wind a strip of land with a width equal to eight times the height of a row of trees.

The windward side of the building can be effectively protected against heat loss, using creepers growing on the façade or sprinkling it with earth.

Dependence of the thermal needs of the building on the size of the earth sheathing.

One of the ways to protect the building from the prevailing winds is to situate other objects that do not require heating in their direction.. It is about such rooms as a garage, cell, clipboard, fuel room, and in rural conditions farm facilities, like a barn, Shed, repository, Dryer, woodshed, etc..
Aerodynamic shape of the building body, especially its windward part, is also a way of protecting against the negative effects of wind. This should be pursued, so that the windward part of the building was , without unnecessary projections, or bay windows protruding beyond the outline of the building (concave forms are more advantageous), as well as without an excessive number of window and door openings. All kinds of walls, dummies and "added" facades are also a form of protection of the building from the wind.

Shaping the windward side of the house body.

The last of the visible factors determining the microclimate of the place is the development of the mantle of the area. The materials used for this affect not only the aesthetic experience, but also on the temperature and humidity of the air. Concrete, light grit, water and bright facades reflect a large amount of radiation, and asphalt, grass and soil absorb radiation, which is related to the air temperature near these surfaces.
