Research and application of active hollow core slabs in building systems for utilizing low energy sources.

Highlights: [•] A review on the development and modeling of active hollow core slab is presented. [•] The applications and performance evaluation of the slab in building are reviewed. [•] Finite element or finite difference method is often used in multidimensional model. [•] Performance evaluations of building using active slabs for ventilation are limited. [•] More works on the active hollow core slab are worthwhile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
