The energy savings achieved by various Trombe solar wall enhancement techniques for heating and cooling applications: A detailed review.

In order to improve the thermal comfort of the occupants within the buildings in summer and winter climates, the current study thoroughly examines several designs using the Trombe wall. This aids green building designers in making the best decision in light of the environment's present state and constantly changing climatic circumstances. In addition to using locally accessible resources to reduce the expense of importing substitute materials to create these structures. With a global view on energy conservation, there is a focused effort and research endeavor toward decreasing energy usage in light of the worldwide energy crisis and growing prices. Alternative solar energy must be maximized to provide thermal comfort for cooling and warming situations with the least amount of energy. A Trombe wall is a cost-effective and ecologically friendly approach to harness solar power to provide summertime natural ventilation that lowers inside temperatures. On the other hand, it causes overheating in the winter as the massive wall stores heat and transfers it to the interior of the building. The present study reviews previously published papers on all the various improvements made to the Trombe solar wall for optimization that deals with improving the performance of heating/cooling conditions through various experimental and numerical approaches. The current research shows that there are research gaps in many different improvement systems, which were clarified at the end of the research paper. Integrating the Trombe solar wall and PCM achieves a maximum energy saving of 36% in the summer and up to 55% in the winter. • A shortage of Trombe wall evaluation in the Middle East conditions was observed. • Employing the Trombe wall to buildings led to a reduction in energy demand. • TW system provided the proper internal thermal comfort during the summer/winter. • Investing in renewable energy results in energy source diversification and cost savings.
