Simulation and experimental study of residential building with north side wind tower assisted by solar chimneys Andres Martin Soto; Pedro Martinez; Pedro Martinez; Juan A. Tudela Researchers built a model that couples airflow and multi-zone thermal behaviour for a bioclimatic house in Murcia, Spain, which is ventilated by a wind tower and four solar chimneys. They checked it against measurements taken on site, then used it to compare passive cooling options. When natural ventilation was combined with geothermal and evaporative cooling, fewer than 10% of occupants were predicted to be dissatisfied, and electricity use fell by about 42%.

Summary
Researchers built a model that couples airflow and multi-zone thermal behaviour for a bioclimatic house in Murcia, Spain, which is ventilated by a wind tower and four solar chimneys. They checked it against measurements taken on site, then used it to compare passive cooling options. When natural ventilation was combined with geothermal and evaporative cooling, fewer than 10% of occupants were predicted to be dissatisfied, and electricity use fell by about 42%.
