Summary

In a deep-plan terraced house in Malang, Indonesia, where single-sided windows and near-still wind make ordinary cross ventilation ineffective, on-site monitoring assessed a retrofitted indoor solar chimney combined with a planted vertical screen in front of the main window. Throughout the day, mean room temperature stayed inside the accepted comfort band, pointing to a low-energy passive cooling option.
