Thermal and fluid dynamics behaviours in ventilated roofs and solar chimneys

Summary

Overview of ventilated roofs and solar chimneys as passive systems for building energy performance, describing how ventilated roofs limit winter heat loss and summer solar gains, and how buoyancy-driven airflow in solar chimneys can serve ventilation, heating, cooling, drying and electricity generation.
