2016-05-28 08:16:30 -0500 asked a question how can i design and assess a solar chimney in designbuilder?

hi. currently i have been working on my thesis. i am working on Green Houses. as you know a solar chimney induces natural ventilation through the interior spaces which has a significant impact on energy consumption in summers. i am going to design and assess a solar chimney for a 2-storey building in DesignBuilder software. the solar chimney comprises 2 sections: vertically and diagonally. i have design the building and the solar chimney over DesignBuilder but i am not sure about the modelling and have some questions. for instance what activity has to be considered for the solar chimney area zone ? or what kind of CFD boundary has to be installed for the solar chimney for interior CFD? or i have problems with inlet and outlet of solar chimney which my model has 2 inlets and 1 outlet

i am looking forward to listen every tips from you.

thank you so much.
