Synopsis

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.

This is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in solar chimney technology, sustainable building design, and fire safety engineering, including researchers, engineers, architects, developers, scientists, faculty, advanced students, and policymakers.

• Explores the new idea of multifunctional solar chimney, covering experimental validation, numerical expansion, and real building implementation
• Supports reduced cost of renewable energy systems in the building sector
• Covers both renewable energy and fire safety, building a foundation for future multidisciplinary collaboration
