CFD ‐based studies on solar chimneys in buildings with emphasis on indoor air quality and E4 assessments: A systematic review

Summary

Systematic review of 62 CFD investigations of solar chimneys for building ventilation, examining how they treat indoor air quality and energy, exergy, environmental and economic performance. Nearly all (about 95%) rely on air change rates instead of pollutant or CO2 levels, rarely assess exergy or life cycle impacts, and never link airflow to occupant health, prompting a proposed framework for health-based evaluation.
