A solar chimney can passively heat and cool a structure.
A solar chimney is a type of passive solar heating and cooling system that can be used to regulate the temperature of a structure as well as providing ventilation. Like Trombe or solar walls, solar chimneys are a way to achieve energy efficient building design. Essentially, solar chimneys are hollow containers that connect the inside part of the building to the outside part of the building.
