2. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

   A solar chimney – often referred to as a thermal chimney – is a way of improving the natural ventilation of buildings by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. A simple description of a solar chimney is that of a vertical shaft utilizing solar energy to enhance the natural stack ventilation through a building.

3. Attic fan - Wikipedia

5. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   Distribution of heat to the building can be accomplished through ceiling and floor level vents, windows, doors, or fans. In a common design, thermal mass wall situated on the back of the sunspace adjacent to the living space will function like an indirect-gain thermal mass wall. Solar energy entering the sunspace is retained in the thermal mass.

6. Solar air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_air_conditioning

   A solar chimney or photovoltaic-powered fan can be used to exhaust undesired heat and draw in cooler, dehumidified air that has passed by ambient Earth temperature surfaces. Control of humidity and condensation are important design issues.

7. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   A solar chimney (or thermal chimney) is a passive solar ventilation system composed of a hollow thermal mass connecting the interior and exterior of a building. As the chimney warms, the air inside is heated causing an updraft that pulls air through the building. These systems have been in use since Roman times and remain common in the Middle East.
