Abstract
The results demonstrate that Well Index is a reliable indicator to characterize atrium proportion and confirm that Well Index works with (CBDM). Having assessed the impact of design parameters, such as climate, building thickness, material reflectance, material transmittance, furniture and monitor roof glazing height, the study potentially provides architects with an atrium design database for U.S. Climate Zone 3. This database compares daylight metrics for Well Index of 0.5, 1 and 2 in central, attached and semi-enclosed atrium types using different roof aperture designs.
