What would you call shaft in Spanish? It is a vertical air passage, it leads below the ground level.
Suggestions: tiro, caja, canal, cubilote, mina, pozo.

1I normally call it agujero del ascensor or agujero del aire...– fedorquiOct 6, 2016 at 10:55

1The definition of shaft says "an opening or passage straight down through the floors of a building", it does not mention anything about going below the ground level. Is it necessary for your purposes? If not, I think the translation is hueco (del ascensor, de ventilación).– CharlieOct 6, 2016 at 11:39

Quick, personal opinion (undocumented, likely localized to Chile): ducto (most generic one, a little technical), shaft, túnel (esp. if it goes underground), tubo (esp. if narrow). Most times with its specific function attached, unless obvious: ducto de ventilación. Tiro would work if air flows naturally, caja is sometimes used (elevator only, I think), canal may be misleading, I've never heard cubilote used, mina is mine, pozo is a well or at least open ended at ground level.– RafaelOct 6, 2016 at 12:00

1Tiro is used when the purpose is ventilation. Caja is used for the elevator. Pozo is just a vertical hole in the ground usually to extract water. Mina is a tunnel for mineral extraction and it does not have to be vertical. So it depends on the use of the shaft it may be tiro, pozo or caja.– DGaleanoOct 6, 2016 at 19:55

En el siguiente documento Ascensores o elevadores se define:
Caja: es el recinto o espacio que en un edificio o estructura, se destina para emplazar el ascensor. También se lo denomina hueco o pasadizo.
Otro nombre utilizado en dicho documento para describir el concepto es el de guía vertical.
