Abstract
Provided in one embodiment is a method of modifying an air flow at least one location of a building structure, comprising: generating a first air flow at the at least one location of the building structure; and modifying a second air flow exterior to the building structure using the generated first air flow. An apparatus configured to modified an air flow is also provided.

A method of modifying an air flow at at least one location of a building structure, comprising:
- generating a first air flow at the at least one location of the building structure;
- and
- modifying a second air flow exterior to the building structure using the generated first air flow.
An apparatus configured to modify an air flow at at least one location of a building structure, the apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus housing;
- and
- a flow generator in the housing, the flow generator configured to generate a first air flow at the at least one location,
- wherein the generated first air flow controls a second air flow exterior to the building structure.
A building structure, comprising an apparatus at at least one location of the building structure, the apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus housing;
- and
- a flow generator in the housing, the flow generator configured to generate a first air flow at the at least one location,
- wherein the generated first air flow modifies a second air flow exterior to the building structure at the at least one location of the building structure.
