Less Effective in Desert Areas

Higher average monthly temps in summer. Palm Springs: 93F July & August

Higher average annual temps. Palm Springs: 75F

Cooling to average annual temp: unrealistic. Ground heats up around pipe(s).

Useful for survival but probably not comfort.

Modified Solar Chimney

95F intake air instead of 115F air saves electricity.
