The influence of building atrium on building lighting and energy saving

With the development of urbanization, the construction of our country has entered a period of rapid construction, and the emergence of energy crisis in the 1970 s, the building energy conservation and emissions reduction is not only a part of sustainable development, also is in the architectural design of lighting,  ventilation and smoke exhaust the development of the power, building the atrium, and public buildings in large construction especially in constant innovation and improvement,  In order to study the maximum introduction of natural elements such as light and natural wind into the architectural design, improve the indoor environment of the building, in line with the modern low-carbon design concept.

The atrium is a covered indoor shared space, which is located in the semi-open space in the center of the building, and plays the role of introducing natural environment into the room, ventilation and lighting, regulating micro-climate, fire fighting and smoke extraction, etc.

From the perspective of the history of traditional Chinese architecture, the concept of patio, which is similar to the size and form of atrium, is the earliest indoor semi-open space widely used in traditional Chinese dwellings. It has the functions of ventilation, lighting and rainwater drainage.

The significance of atrium lighting: light is an indispensable element of human life, and the connection between light and architectural space has always been a crucial problem in humanized design.  Light plays a role in enriching space, creating space emotion and reflecting building materials.

Lighting atrium design should consider the following factors: light can make building materials fully display their characteristics or more artistic, and coordinate the contradiction between light and heat.   The characteristics of different lighting materials are very important.   For example, glass has translucent and semi-reflective properties, conveying different scenes behind;    For example, TOPRISE FRP light plate has been used in industrial buildings to give full play to the natural.

The natural lighting in the atrium of the building achieves low-carbon design through aesthetic means, such as the unique light and shadow effect of the grille on the top of the building under the sunlight, which increases the artistic quality of the space, and achieves environmental protection, energy saving and vivid beauty.  The sufficient lighting can meet the psychological needs of running, so that the internal order and the external order are coordinated.  

Artificial lighting brings huge energy consumption problem. In order to realize low-carbon design development of buildings and explore energy-saving forms of lighting and ventilation, it is particularly important to adopt natural light source to realize daily indoor lighting.  The future trend of architectural design must continue to be low-carbon and ecological design concept.  

The products of fire control and smoke exhaust skylight are generally used in high  buildings, among which toprise smoke exhaust skylight perfectly solves the problems of natural lighting, ventilation, intelligent control and fire control and smoke exhaust in the building atrium.    TOPRISE lighting and ventilation products can effectively reduce building energy consumption, and actively respond to the needs of sustainable development advocated by the state.
