This paper proposes and tests a photovoltaic-powered DAC (Direct Air Capture) system in a generic residential building located in Qatar. It can efficiently reduce CO₂ concentration in a living space, thus providing an incentive to individuals to adopt it. The ventilation performance of the building is determined using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, undertaken with ANSYS-CFD. The CFD model was validated using microclimate-air quality dataloggers.
