A First Approach to Natural Thermoventilation of Residential Buildings through Ventilation Chimneys Supplied by Solar Ponds

Summary

Proposes driving natural ventilation in homes with chimneys whose upward airflow is warmed by heat drawn from solar ponds, which collect and store solar energy. The concept would allow night-time air renewal in summer in sunny climates where nights are cooler, offering low-energy improvements to indoor comfort and air quality.
