The winter thermal benefits of elongated atria are thus offset by additional cooling requirements.
This clearly indicates that the advantages of atria as climate modifiers in the southern climate are significantly smaller than in the other three climatic zones.
This temperature change is more noticeable in enclosed atria.
This, on the whole, makes atria viable as passive solar systems.
Paradoxically, enclosed atria provide greater self-shading and the demand for a larger amount of glazing for daylight purposes can be relatively high.
Thus, compact and taller forms can be advantageous in reducing the overall summer temperature rise in the atria, particularly in low latitude locations.
The potential energy savings of atria are now widely acknowledged.
Considerations initiated by 3 cases of absent spleen with a discordant anatomy between bronchi and atria.
