Atrium vs. Courtyard Cooling Efficiency by Madhukar Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This research article compares the cooling efficiency of atrium and courtyard designs in hot tropical climates, focusing on various passive cooling strategies. A field study of a naturally ventilated atrium building was conducted, revealing that the highest cooling efficiency is achieved through cross ventilation combined with the stack effect and evaporative cooling. The findings emphasize the importance of airflow patterns over airflow rates in enhancing indoor thermal conditions.
