Application of an unsteady-state model for predicting vertical temperature distribution to an existing atrium.

Author(s) : TAKEMASA Y., TOGARI S., ARAI Y.

Summary

Vertical temperature differences tend to be great in a large indoor space such as an atrium and it is important to predict variations of vertical temperature distribution in the early stage of the design. The authors previously developed and reported on a new simplified unsteady-state calculation model for predicting vertical temperature distribution in a large space. Comparisons between calculated values and the results of test chamber experiments verified that the model can be used to make accurate predictions for conditions of no solar radiation. In the paper, this model is applied to predicting the vertical temperature distribution in an existing low-rise atrium that has a skylight and is affected by transmitted solar radiation.
