Summary
A literature survey of solar chimneys in residential and commercial buildings, covering wall- and roof-mounted designs, integrated layouts that improve natural ventilation and comfort, pairings with passive cooling, and support from active solar systems. The authors consider the technology cost-effective for low-carbon buildings and call for more experimental data, plus work on optimization and control strategies across different climates.
