Summary

Validated three-dimensional transient modelling, driven by June weather data for Hong Kong, is used to choose the best latent-heat storage material (PCM) for a hybrid unit that pairs a solar chimney with a PV module to deliver ventilation and electricity together; the work varies thermal conductivity, fusion temperature, specific heat and latent heat, and also assesses costs.
