The application of this strategy in SME premises is expected to promote natural ventilation, hence reducing the business operating cost.

The performance of the proposed solar induced ventilation is evaluated based on four variables, namely air temperature, air velocity, mass flow rate and air flow rate.

The methodology applied is Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling. The application of the prototype at the SME building is able to enhance air flow rate and reduce air temperature at the indoor working area. The highest air temperature reduction attained by the enhancement from 1 meter to 4 meter width solar collector is 1.3 ºC.
