Description:
Atria as a building feature have a long architectural tradition, and originate from the Roman era, where an atrium was specified as central open courtyard. Today the term atrium is used for a highly-glazed space in relation to a building. One of many reason why building an atria is that it revive the indoor space by admitting natural light and increases people interaction.
Today energy efficiency is becoming more of a priority for building designers. Therefore there is a need to develop a design tool to take full advantage of atrium potential day lighting and optimize the total energy consumption.
In this project three types of atria has been analyzed; an enclosed atrium, a three-sided atrium and a linear atrium. For each atrium several of the internal and external parameter has been analyzed to determine which type of atria is most efficient in terms of day lighting and energy consumptions.
