THERMAL PERFORMANCE SIMULATION OF AN ATRIUM BUILDING

Özgür Göçer, Aslihan Tavil, Ertan Özkan

Abstract: In recent years highly glazed spaces and atrium buildings are seen as a sign of advanced technology. An atrium is the social center of a building where people gather for social activities and also is a significant element of passive building systems when well designed to provide user requirements. The study aims to accomplish a thermal performance simulation of an atrium building by specifying a prototype model of an office building in Istanbul. With the help of building simulation tools-EnergyPlus (Version 1.2.3), FLUENT (Version 6.2.16)-total energy consumption and air stratification of the atrium building is performed.
