Whole House Filtered Ventilation

Woof;

You are probably getting an "enhanced" chimney effect.  I know of a couple houses with a tallish, large diameter, black heavy gage pipe stuck up out of the attic with a T on top to shed weather. They open low windows and the attic entry hatch and that stack heats up and draws air through the whole house with no fans at all. Beats opened windows and a fan it seems. Foliage around the intake is extra good.

Nice set up and whatever works, works!

We run the AC a few times a year but the close in overhanging trees keep us cool most of the time and in summer we live on the screened porch a lot of the time.

Ahh, optical illusion. A stack of 6" fans, yes, they can move a decent amount of air. (But I still think there's some degree of natural convection/chimney effect helping you out there)
