Summary

Combines laboratory measurements on a scaled room fitted with a double-channel roof solar chimney with CFD simulations using an RNG k-ε model validated against the data. Heating a vertical room wall in addition to the chimney absorber strongly boosts ventilation, reaching around 30 air changes per hour versus roughly 12 with the chimney alone.
