The objective of this study is to develop a modeling method for optimizing the design of a solar chimney combined conservatory to exploit the airing rate in the conservatory. Solar chimney, frequently specified as a thermal chimney. Thermal chimney is a technique of purifying the normal airing of constructions by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. In hot climates ventilation can be a useful means of chilling houses, if the outdoor air is colder than inside of house. Often, in hot regions the outside air is so hot during the day that cooling by airing is of no advantage till the sunset when the outdoor air gets chiller. Airing can then be useful, and can be encouraged by a sun-warmed cavity.
