The article explores the effective implementation of energy-efficient technologies in passive ventilation systems for residential buildings. As energy efficiency and environmental sustainability become more critical in construction, ensuring natural air exchange is essential for a comfortable indoor microclimate. The study analyzes contemporary ventilation systems, evaluates climatic factors, and applies numerical modeling to assess passive ventilation effectiveness. Findings show that solar chimneys, wind catchers, and hybrid ventilation systems improve natural air exchange and reduce reliance on mechanical systems. Despite advances in renewable energy technologies, solar chimneys are underutilized, particularly in multi-story buildings, due to limited research and the lack of validated methodologies. The article also offers recommendations for integrating passive ventilation technologies into modern construction for more sustainable and energy-efficient designs.
