The key to designing a passive solar building is to best take advantage of the local climate.

A solar chimney (or thermal chimney, in this context) is a passive solar ventilation system composed of a vertical shaft connecting the interior and exterior of a building.

Passive solar design techniques can be applied most easily to new buildings, but existing buildings can be adapted or retrofitted .

More widely, passive solar technologies include the solar furnace and solar forge, but these typically require some external energy for aligning their concentrating mirrors or receivers, and historically have not proven to be practical or cost effective for widespread use.
