A method and an apparatus for efficiently pressurizing and ventilating an air-supported greenhouse or other structure requiring pressurization and ventilation is provided. A method for efficiently pressurizing and ventilating an air-supported structure may comprise directing any external wind flow and external wind pressure into mechanical flow means (1), such as a fan, or fans in parallel, operating in the intake direction, and into the internal space of the air-supported structure (5) and out of the internal space of the air-supported structure through internal pressure regulating exhaust means (6), whereby the internal space of the structure will be ventilated and pressurized with the assistance of any external wind and the reliability of mechanical flow means (fans).
