Summary

Simulations of a solar-driven chimney attached to a typical room, combined with an orthogonal test design, compare its warming and cooling benefits across twelve Chinese climate zones. The glazing share of the façade and the chimney's portion of the south face dominate, with the same ranking and best geometry for both seasons. Peak room temperatures drop by up to 5.7 °C during hot months and climb by up to 6.7 °C during cold ones.
