atrium

The content of paper is energy analysis of ventilation system with using energy potential of atrium space. The aim of case study is to analyze energy potential of air preheating in atrium space and its utilisation in mechanical ventilation system. In order to energy analyse the heat demand for space heating was calculated in relation to required air exchange by mechanical ventilation. The analysis was done for old school building that is the object of renovation. The building renovation is oriented on reducing of energy consumption and improving the internal environment.
