Abstract
The paper discusses the feasibility of using the well known Trombe wall to ventilate houses under Bangkok ambient conditions. The effects of air gap and wall height on the induced ventilation were investigated experimentally. A numerical model was also developed that could be a useful tool for designing such a system under different ambient conditions.Keywords
