Abstract
Atria can be used to serve environmental benefits. This paper studies the effects of daylight in spaces adjacent to an atrium only. The atrium building represents a five storey office building. Light is drawn into the well from the top of the atrium. It is drawn into the side spaces through openings in the wall facades of the atrium well. The relative contributions to the day lighting in the adjacent spaces due to variable opening sizes and surface reflectivity on the wall facades of the atrium, and the surface reflectivity of the atrium floor have been recorded. The respective roles of the atrium walls and floor for enhancing lighting in the well and the side spaces have been studied.
