Summary

Proposes a façade-mounted glazed solar chimney, installed floor by floor, that can switch between daytime ventilation and cooling, daytime heating and night-time cooling. A mechatronic control layer selects the mode according to outdoor, climatic and indoor conditions. Use cases in tropical Mauritius are used to show how the design could keep interiors comfortable without air conditioning.
