A comparative study on the performance of side-lit atria and top-lit atria in low latitude tropics Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Top-lit atria are more popular than side-lit atria because they are believed to have a better distribution and higher daylighting level. However, in low latitude humid tropics they may cause over lighting and thus overheating. Using computer simulation, this study attempts to compare the distributio...
