So, I'm looking for leads.

What math do you need to figure out the size and shape of solar chimney you would need for cooling a given area?  I'm guessing the volume of the chimney is important, the solar collection area of course, and probably a lot more.  Where does a person start when it comes to figuring all this out?

Be the shenanigans
you want to see in the world.

Hey K,
with a quick search I found the following article, with a lot of references (in chapter 3.3). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032120309539#bib26

A good starting point to all RMH research: https://permies.com/w/rmh-resources and here https://www.permies.com/t/41635/Top-Questions-Rocket-Mass-Heaters
