Abstract

At a time when great importance is being attached to making more efficient use of resources, there is a strong case for considering ways in which buildings may be improved and extended to meet new and changing requirements. The Martin Centre investigated the potential which was offered in these respects by the addition of glazed roofs to existing courtyards and lightwells. The investigation aimed at carrying further the current knowledge of the environmental performances of glazed courts and so revealing the potential of the glazing of existing courts. The work was carried out in collaboration with Essex County Council and the emphasis was on school buildings. Part of the study involved the monitoring of a primary school fitted with a glazed courtyard. This paper presents an analysis of the temperatures recorded both in the atrium space and in the adjacent classes. The stratification phenomenon is discussed as well as the effect of natural ventilation on overheating conditions.
