Abstract
Trombe walls are attracting considerable attention from researchers and engineers on account of their potential ability for addressing environmental and energy crisis. However, reviews on the current situation and challenges of Trombe walls are limited. Therefore, it is necessary to present an overview on recent development of Trombe walls from various perspectives and provide some potential directions for further research. This review mainly focuses on the latest techniques on passive solar heating (represented by Trombe walls). In detail, various and novel Trombe walls are introduced according to structural improvement and technological innovation. In addition, different assessment indicators of Trombe walls are summarized from four points of view: energy, exergy, economy and environment (4E). In the end, the outlook, including challenges and future perspectives of Trombe walls are summarized and proposed. We hope that this article would be valuable for academic researchers and can provide related engineering designers in the field of passive buildings with a reference for further research.
