Summary

Assesses a solar-chimney-driven window with an evaporative cooler serving an office in Doha, using a year of on-site weather measurements. It cuts total annual energy demand by about 8.8% and daily summer heat gain by about 11.3%. In winter, high humidity limits its cooling and the system is sometimes counterproductive.
