Summary
Investigates an inclined solar chimney for building ventilation in a low-latitude Brazilian setting, adding a vertical extension so the absorber can be tilted for best sun exposure without losing stack height. Building simulations, calibrated against measurements from an experimental test cell, and theoretical analysis indicate a marked rise in airflow, supporting the design as a natural ventilation strategy.
