Improving night ventilation into low-rise buildings in hot-arid climates exploring a combined wall–roof solar chimney Mohsen M. AboulNaga; S.N Abdrabboh Spreadsheet-based parametric modelling of a solar chimney that joins a vertical wall collector to an inclined roof collector, aimed at cooling heavy houses through nocturnal airflow in desert regions. Raising the wall portion to its tallest tested value gave the highest flow, about 2.3 m3/s, nearly triple that of a roof-only design, allowing roughly 26 air exchanges hourly in a small flat.

Summary
Spreadsheet-based parametric modelling of a solar chimney that joins a vertical wall collector to an inclined roof collector, aimed at cooling heavy houses through nocturnal airflow in desert regions. Raising the wall portion to its tallest tested value gave the highest flow, about 2.3 m³/s, nearly triple that of a roof-only design, allowing roughly 26 air exchanges hourly in a small flat.
