A roof solar chimney assisted by cooling cavity for natural ventilation in buildings in hot arid climates: An energy conservation approach in Al-Ain city Mohsen M. AboulNaga An analytical spreadsheet model is used to size and optimise a roof-mounted solar chimney paired with a wind-cooled cavity for passive ventilation of buildings in the hot, dry climate of Al-Ain, including the gap between the outer wall and the glazing. Under strong sunshine (850 W/m2) the chimney alone drives up to about 1.6 kg/s of air, and the cavity adds roughly 0.35 kg/s in a 4 m/s wind.

Summary
An analytical spreadsheet model is used to size and optimise a roof-mounted solar chimney paired with a wind-cooled cavity for passive ventilation of buildings in the hot, dry climate of Al-Ain, including the gap between the outer wall and the glazing. Under strong sunshine (850 W/m²) the chimney alone drives up to about 1.6 kg/s of air, and the cavity adds roughly 0.35 kg/s in a 4 m/s wind.
