Enhancing building energy performance, driven by growing concerns about energy conservation and sustainable development, is renewing interest in passive solar systems. Among the various passive technologies, the strategic development of ventilated solar façade has received increasing attention from engineers and architects in recent years. Depending on their configurations and associated design principles, ventilated solar façade have proven to reduce heating and cooling loads by harnessing solar energy. This article provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research on passive ventilated solar façade and their integration into building envelopes, focusing on their respective enhancements in terms of energy efficiency and limiting the use of conventional space heating and cooling methods. The different works are divided into four categories based on air circulation techniques. This study is intended to be a valuable resource for academic researchers and a source of inspiration for architects and engineering designers in the development of façade and thermal systems.
