The article discusses the critical role of passive ventilation systems, particularly the trombe wall, in addressing environmental and energy challenges in modern housing.
It emphasises the need for energy-efficient, sustainable solutions like natural ventilation, which leverages renewable energy and convective air movement.
The trombe wall system, a solar-based passive ventilationmechanism, is highlighted for its potential to reduce electricity use and enhance air circulation in modular homes.
The study identifies optimal parameters for system efficiency, including air consumption and opening dimensions, while also stressing the importance of further research on factors like wind speed and system design to improve performance.
