Summary

CFD simulations of an office building with a large hall assess how a photovoltaic solar chimney can drive natural stack ventilation, varying internal heat sources, chimney inlet height, solar gain and panel layout. Heat released from the back of the PV panels proves most effective, with 200 W/m² raising airflow by about 16%, while higher inlets and lower heat sources also help.
