[BLDG-SIM] Atrium-Multi-Level Space

["Vickie Chen" <Vickie.Chen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

 

I have a problem when I tried to model a multi-level space atrium with skylight.

When I modified the atrium in Wizard as "open to below", there didn't show any roof surface which I can define skylight.

If I don't modify it "open to below", then there is internal floor in the model.

I found in the TOPICS manual it shows the program takes solar radiation absorbed by interior walls into account.

Shall I specify the internal walls adjacent to atrium as "interior glazing" so that the direct solar can come through?

Or if actually there is no interior glazing, can I specify the internal walls as "Air"?

I am just concerned about the heat transfer from the skylight and atrium.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to specify the multi level atrium with skylight properly.

Thank you in advance.

 

Regards,

Vickie
