Light Environment Research in the Patio of College Teaching Building - Tiangong Building in Hubei Engineering College for Example

Abstract

The college teaching building which corridor inside would be spend large quantities of electrical energy for the corridor lighting during the day, and although the teaching building of atriums could obtain good natural lighting and the atrium space, but due to the design of the glass curtain wall and glass ceiling large energy consumption, even with high technology , such as wind towers or daylighting shutter, to reduce energy consumption, but the investment and maintenance cost is large. Patio with its strong vitality of Chinese traditional local-style dwelling houses and unique charm come down, therefore, will raise a reasonable applied to the teaching building is a kind of low technology design to obtain high benefit .This article analys the apply of patio in teaching building, Hubei engineering college for example, using the analysis software and actual measurement, obtain the effect of natural lighting in the teaching building which the patio used and the influence of patio structure on natural lighting.
