Analysis of the Energy-Saving in the Conference Center Atrium

This paper investigates the influence of the Conference Center atrium design on energy consumption from an integrated perspective. Computer simulation techniques were used to assess the effects of the Stratification Cooling (SC) and passive energy-saving. The simulation results indicate that the effectively designed air supply system can perform two major functions: separation and utilization of natural air to help reduce the refrigeration zone and cool the upper zone. The simulation results of a case study show that the composite design method can make the air conditioning operation in the atrium of the hotel more energy efficient, and maintain a comfortable ambience in summer season. This is recommended.
