Abstract

The main purpose of the passive solar design strategy is to maximize the potential for abundance of solar radiation to improve the heating/cooling of buildings. One of them is by utilizing the stack ventilation strategy. Solar Chimney (SC) is a technology that utilizes this effect. Further simulation of Abraham’s research on buildings with SC such as widening the chimney and the opening/closing strategy of the inlet to test the performance of the inlet. The results showed that changes in the variation in width and angle of the solar chimney effectively increased the value of indoor wind speed by 10%. Whereas through the inlet open/close strategy it can be seen which inlet has the best performance.
