Solar energy building applications are attracting increasing attention from researchers, engineers, businessmen and officials due to their significant benefits in sustainable development, such as energy saving, cost reduction and environmental protection. Trombe wall, as a classical passive solar heating technique, has been studied for many years. A variety of concepts, methodologies and experiences have been developed during relevant research. Especially in recent years, numerous studies on Trombe wall have been published, which implies a rising attention to this technique. This review focuses on the classification, experimental assessment, modeling methods, and evaluation metrics for Trombe wall. In detail, nine types of Trombe walls are introduced according to their materials, structures and functions. Four experimental methods and two modeling methods of Trombe wall are discussed based on their functions, advantages, disadvantages, and applicability. Three aspects of evaluation metrics for Trombe wall are summarized in terms of technique, economy and environment. Moreover, the current and future research of Trombe wall are discussed at the end. The authors consider this article would be useful for their peers and can facilitate the technical development of Trombe wall.

太阳能建筑应用因其在节能，降低成本和环境保护等可持续发展方面的显着优势，越来越受到研究人员，工程师，商人和官员的关注。Trombe墙作为一种经典的被动式太阳能加热技术，已经研究了很多年。在相关研究中，已经开发出各种概念，方法和经验。尤其是近年来，关于Trombe墙的大量研究已经发表，这意味着对该技术的关注日益增加。这篇综述着重于Trombe墙的分类，实验评估，建模方法和评估指标。详细介绍了9种类型的Trombe墙，根据其材料，结构和功能。根据功能，优点，缺点和适用性，讨论了Trombe墙的四种实验方法和两种建模方法。从技术，经济和环境方面总结了Trombe墙评估指标的三个方面。此外，最后还讨论了Trombe墙的当前和未来研究。作者认为，本文对他们的同行将是有用的，并且可以促进Trombe墙的技术发展。
