Numerical simulation of natural ventilation with passive cooling by diagonal solar chimneys and windcatcher and water spray system in a hot and dry climate

Sajedeh Jafari et al.

Summary: This study proposes a green initiative to address the consequences of energy consumption by enhancing the evaporative cooling rate of a passive method in a multi-story building. The combination of a windcatcher, solar chimneys, and a water spray system is found to significantly reduce temperature and increase humidity, improving energy efficiency and thermal comfort conditions.
