摘要
The reflective characteristics of the surfaces enclosing an atrium space can significantly influence the distribution of daylight in adjacent spaces. Large scale model studies were used to evaluate the effects of floor reflectance and the proportion of opening in the atrium walls during overcast sky conditions. Measurements show that the daylight potential in the middle and lower floors can be enhanced by gradually increasing the proportion of opening to reflective surface of the atrium walls from relatively small openings at the top to fully glazed openings at the ground. Further, the floor reflectivity can dramatically influence the daylighting in the lower floors. © 1989.
