“…Trombe walls are mainly used in cold and mild climates for space heating and cooling. Recently, some literatures have introduced a few novel Trombe walls that can be used for removal of formaldehyde [22] and humidification [23]. This paper will not describe them in detail.…”

Compared to conventional "active" environmental control system, passive solar system is a better alternative option for thermal comfort conditioning inside the buildings. The judicious use of simple passive systems can significantly reduce the building's energy consumption for space heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting. Hence, this chapter presents an overview of the major development of various building integrations of passive solar concepts such as Trombe wall, roof ponds, and BIPV/T. More importantly, their structures, working principles, as well as advantages and defects have been highlighted. On this basis, two types of

“…For example, Liu and Yongcai [11] has worked on thermal performance of a solar chimney without and with phase change material experimentally. Rabani et al [12], has studied empirical investigation of the cooling performance of a new designed Trombe wall in combination with solar chimney and water spraying system. Solar chimney acts as a thermal engine by converting thermal energy into kinetic energy of air movement.…”

This study describes the design and analysis of solar system for mild or warm climatic conditions. In order to improve the performance of solar chimney system, well known software FLUENT is used to demonstrate the structures of these systems and finally compare the results with several examples, which have been studied previously. In order to improve the performance of solar chimney system, highly efficient subsystem components are considered for the design. The general purpose of the research is to understand how efficiently solar chimney systems generate cooling, and is to improve the efficiency of such systems for integration with existing and future domestic buildings.

“…The density difference between the low temperature zone (inside the room) and the high temperature zone (the channel space) causes an increase in the buoyancy forces and induces the air movement inside the room toward the solar chimney as schematically shown in Fig. 1b (Rabani et al, 2015).…”
