Q » How do architects design atriums for natural ventilation?
08 Dec, 2025
A » Architects design atriums for natural ventilation by strategically placing openings to facilitate air movement and utilizing thermal buoyancy principles. The stack effect is harnessed, where warm air rises and exits through high-level vents, drawing cooler air in at lower levels. Materials and layout are chosen to optimize airflow, while considering local climate conditions. Computational fluid dynamics models may be used to simulate and refine design effectiveness for ventilation.
