Analysis of the energy-saving in the Hotel Atrium
This paper investigates the influence of the hotel atrium design on energy consumption from an integrated perspective. The computer simulation techniques were used to assess the effects of the SC and passive energy-saving. The simulation results indicate that the effectively design air supply system can perform two major functions, separation and utilize natural air to help reduce refrigeration zone and cooling upper zone. The following case study demonstrates that the integrated method allows the hotel atrium to save energy and maintain comfort in summer season.
