The modification of optimum solar chimney geometry to achieve target comfort ventillation in Malaysian condition

In terms of passive cooling design in housing, tropical climates present the most difficult problem to solve. The climatic conditions of the tropical regions are characterized by high air temperatures, high relative humidity and very low wind speeds. These make the environmental conditions uncomfort...
