THERMAL COMFORT ASSESSMENT FOR ADOPTING CONTROL STRATEGIES IN ATRIUM BUILDINGS

Abstract

The atrium was seen in origin about two hundred years ago. Glazed areas and atrium structures have been considered a symbol of advanced technology in recent years, yet they can differ in terms of arrangement and functionality. Because of the complexity of their operation and air movement, atriums are difficult to diagnose and analyze in terms of thermal comfort. The present paper has a study on the thermal environment of atrium spaces. Thermal comfort is one of the foremost important aspects of indoor environmental quality thanks to its effects on well-being, people's performance, and building energy requirements. Since our responses to our thermal environment have a considerable effect on our performance and behavior, not least in the realm of work, there has been a considerable scientific investigation of those responses and formal methods are developed for environmental evaluation and style. Thermal sensations of the occupants occupying the interior space of the building were evaluated with various approaches to understanding indoor thermal comfort. Several metrics for assessing human thermal response to interior environment conditions have been assessed describing the human thermal perception of the thermal environment to which an individual or a group of people is exposed. The article study was to gain insight into the subject’s perspectives on variables of comfort levels and determine the factors responsible for the varying human thermal comfort summer. This paper is a study on the thermal environment of atrium spaces focusing on identifying the factors of thermal comfort and promoting Control measures that may be adopted in atrium buildings to reduce the energy potential.
