Morgan,
NREL has a program that could do this called Sunrel. I havent used it yet,
but I am sure it would involve a learning curve.

If you want a simple approximate idea of savings, you could use the LCR/SSF
method devloped by Doug Balcomb.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Trombe Wall Modeling?



Hi all ? I'm looking at modeling a large solar chimney for pre-heating
outside air.  It's going to consist of an 8 story glazing wall set 3' or so
in front of a cement mass mall.  I'm hoping to find a simple way to
approximate the savings in eQUEST.  I'm still in the design development
phase of the project, so I don't want to spend too much time on the model.
Does anyone have any advice?  Thanks.
