Daylight Study in Atrium
Dwelling upon an integrated approach that considers both the aesthetic qualities of the atrium opening, as well as the energy and indoor climate implications of the geometry, a series of iterations have been tested at a more detailed level. Previously, the atmonpheric qualities of different geometries have been analyzed. This Daylight Study within the atrium shows the difference in Dayligh Factor according to variations in the geometry of the openings on the facade, in an intermediately overcast environment. The type of environment has been chosen due to the climatic conditions of Nuuk, which are described by fast changing weather, but predominantly clear skies. Moreover, the study has been conducted in Velux Daylight Vizualiser, with the location beeing set to Reykjavik, Iceland, as Nuuk has been unavailable. The daylight conditions in Rejkiavik are similar to those in the Greenlandic capital, however, Nuuk has slighlty clearer skies. Therefore, we can assume that the obtained results can be increased in order to assess the realistic numbers for Nuuk. The objective of the study was to assess which geometry offers the interior of the atrium the biggest daylight factor. The informations will be afterwards overlapped atop the atmospheric study.
