Experimental studies on solar chimneys for natural ventilation in domestic applications: a comprehensive review

Summary

Surveys laboratory and field experiments on solar chimneys used to ventilate homes, looking at each test individually because conditions differ widely. It catalogues the parameters measured so far (chimney size and shape, absorber materials, phase change materials, hybrid configurations and tilt angle), statistically summarises test setups and studied variables, and identifies gaps that future experiments should address.
