Performance of a Solar Chimney for Cooling Building Façades under Different Heat Source Distributions in the Air Channel

Solar chimneys can be employed in buildings for natural ventilation, cooling, or heating of the building envelope, hence saving energy. In open double-skin facades, the air channel's thermal effects between the two layers of a façade are similar to those in a solar chimney. Most studies about s...
