Summary
Experimental evaluation of a residential wind shaft in Kota, India, converted to act as a solar chimney for passive ventilation. Measured air temperatures and velocities, together with a simple model of air changes, show the chimney air heating in step with solar irradiance and delivering roughly 6–8 air changes per hour in peak summer, enough to satisfy Indian ventilation standards.
