Solar Chimney for Natural Ventilation in Medtrania Climate

Summary

Examines how a solar chimney attached to a closed building can drive natural ventilation and reduce heat gained through external walls in a Mediterranean climate. A numerical model of the chimney accounts for solar radiation, wind, ambient temperature, chimney height, gap and width, and cover material, and its predictions agree well with previously published results.
