Multifunctional Solar Chimney in Buildings: From Idea to Practice is the first book on multifunctional solar chimneys that integrates energy saving, natural ventilation, and fire safety. The book introduces fundamental influencing factors and optimization design, theoretical deduction of both heating and cooling modes, the impacts of wind environments, solar chimney applications, fulfilment of WHO requirements, idea validation of multifunctional solar chimney, and finally, the applications of multifunctional solar chimney in buildings and tunnels. Preface. Influencing factors of solar chimney in buildings. Empirical model considering both room and cavity configurations. Solar chimney under three heating modes. Theoretical models for wall solar chimney. Impacts of wind on solar chimney performance. Experimental study on multifunctional solar chimney. A case study of multifunctional solar chimney in building. A case study of multifunctional solar chimney in tunnel
