Summary

CFD simulations of a heated industrial workshop compare four solar chimney designs mounted on the top and south-facing roof, assessing airflow rate, air speed, temperature and occupant comfort (PMV/PPD) in the working zone. The best-suited chimney raised peak ventilation by roughly 36% and average air speed by about 21% relative to the original building.
