Yes, I can offer some clarity I think :)
1. The dome has to be *opaque* and reflect the solar heating heating off.
Shiny or White should do.
2. Around the house, ground level needs to black, like tarmac, asphalt,
black soil.... so that sun seriously heats the ground and air *around* the
house a lot.... causing upward airflow.
3. The lower holes need to be at the ground level, just next to the heated
rising aircurrents around the house. uphole must not let in sunlight much.
4. Idea is that the hot rising air *around the house* creates the suction
current through the low narrow floor level houses... and this suction then
sucks the air from the higher up cooler air (or somewhat slightly cooler air
? perhaps through shaded "reverese chimney" tube even, in case of small
domes and hexayurts ?).
5. The reference to world games, probably refers to some events where such
cooling would have been used in large stadium sized structures.
