Solar energy building applications are attracting increasing attention from researchers, engineers, businessmen and officials due to their significant benefits in sustainable development, such as energy saving, cost reduction and environmental protection. Trombe wall, as a classical passive solar heating technique, has been studied for many years. A variety of concepts, methodologies and experiences have been developed during relevant research. Especially in recent years, numerous studies on Trombe wall have been published, which implies a rising attention to this technique. This review focuses on the classification, experimental assessment, modeling methods, and evaluation metrics for Trombe wall. In detail, nine types of Trombe walls are introduced according to their materials, structures and functions. Four experimental methods and two modeling methods of Trombe wall are discussed based on their functions, advantages, disadvantages, and applicability. Three aspects of evaluation metrics for Trombe wall are summarized in terms of technique, economy and environment. Moreover, the current and future research of Trombe wall are discussed at the end. The authors consider this article would be useful for their peers and can facilitate the technical development of Trombe wall.

“…The investigations on the natural building ventilation generated by Trombe wall were carried out parametrically and experimentally. The results showed that the amount of stored energy increases with the increase in the area ratio of the Trombe wall to the southern building wall [11,12]. Moreover, with an increase in the room temperature, the rate of solar radiation, and the height as well as the thickness of the Trombe wall, the rate of the natural ventilation increased [13,14].…”

With the shortage of the energy and the improvement of people's environmental requirements, it has received more and more attention to realize building energy efficiency through new energy sources. Trombe wall is a technology that uses solar energy and wind energy to enhance indoor natural ventilation, thereby achieving indoor temperature and humidity reduction and improving air quality. In this paper, the impact of rectangular fin arrays on the cooling performance of a combined solar system, consisted of Trombe wall, Solar chimney, and water spraying system (WSS), was experimentally investigated. Different fin types including copper, aluminum and brass fins were considered. The experimental room measuring 3m×2m×3m was located in Yazd, Iran, characterized with hot and dry climate. The cooling performance was assessed in terms of fin materials and the number of fins. The results showed that using water spraying system, the room temperature decreased up to 10°C. The cooling efficiency of the system with thermal fin increased up to 6%. Furthermore, the copper fin resulted in maximum cooling efficiency and more comfortable average room temperature than two other fin types.

“…It is a high thermal mass concrete wall designed to passively store solar energy in a building [5,6]. An experimental study was set up by Rabani et al [7,8] to investigate the heating performance of an improved Trombe wall that is able to obtain solar radiation from three directions: sou th, west and east. Besides, they performed numerical simulations and validated their findings with the experimental data then compared the heating performances of two test rooms: one with a new newly designed Trombe wall, while the second with a traditional Trombe wall.…”

In the context of shrinking non-renewable energy resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it turns out necessary to drop energy consumption and move towards renewable energy sources. In this regard, solar energy being an abundant source of energy, it can play an important role in the building energy supply. This energy supplement can come from passive solar technologies, of which the Trombe wall is one of the passive models most used in the building envelope, whose main role is to ensure net gains. Thereby, the main aim of this study is to highlight the use of a simple method to reduce the buildings heating demand. For this, a 3-D model was developed through scSTREAM V2020 software to investigate the thermal performance of a classical Trombe wall in winter while targeting desirable indoor thermal comfort conditions. In addition, studies have been performed to optimize the energy consumption It turned out that, in the presence (respectively absence) of solar irradiation, the Trombe wall acts as a solar absorber (respectively a heat source).
