The study proposed a solar chimney driven evaporative cooling system that can be integrated into the ceiling of a building. The aims of the study are to analyze the boundary conditions, such as a radiative cooling load and the inlet air conditions, on the cooling performance of the system, as well as to predict the energy saving potential of the system. The simulation results revealed that the system could cope with the radiative cooling load of 40W/m
2 when the solar radiation on vertical surfaces was above 200W/m
2.The cooling load of the existing air conditioner would be reduced by 11% on a summer representative day, if the system was attached to the perimeter zone of a south-facing office room.
