I got curious what sort of airflow would result around this building with the numbers stated, and the possible ramifications of it.
1M cubic feet per hour sounds much more impressive than ~278 cubic feet per second, particularly across the entire surface area of the building.
Let's say it's 5.75ft to a side and square-ish, since it yields a building that's got a perimeter of 23 feet, and ignore the roof, since that's intake - you're pushing ~278 cubic feet per second through 529 square feet of surface area, so you're displacing about half a foot of air per second over the entire surface, or a gentle breeze when you're right up against the building surface, let alone any distance away.
(I'm aware the building is finned, not flat, and that this is just sketchy math. I just thought I'd share it because it gives interesting insight into what this could feel like right next to it.)
