A cowl for a ventilation system is provided that includes at least two separate flow paths, an outlet flow path defined by a first conduit and an inlet flow path defined by a second conduit that extends around the first conduit of the outlet flow path, the first and second conduits extending in the direction of a common axis, the inlet and outlet flow paths each having a first end adapted to open to atmosphere and each having a second end adapted to be connected to the ventilation system. The inlet flow path includes a mouth portion at its first end, the mouth portion substantially facing a direction perpendicular to the common axis to provide an opening into the inlet flow path and including at least one louver, the louver configured to present to incoming air a radially outward upwardly inclined section and a radially inward downwardly inclined section.
