Investigation of Natural Heating of buildings by Solar Chimney at Various Solar Heating Cases

Summary

Experimental tests of a solar chimney used to heat a building, run both with and without a thermal storage material that keeps releasing heat after sunset. Indoor temperatures stayed above ambient during the day and for many hours into the night, cutting monthly energy costs by roughly $27 per cubic metre without storage and $60 with it.
