    Daylight penetration in atrium spaces
    (1998) Özdamar, Murat
    In today's world, one of the most important factors is energy saving. The proper use of daylight is one of the most important ways of it. The aim of this thesis is to study the effects of daylight in the atrium well and in the spaces adjacent to the atrium. The relative contributions to the illumination levels in the side spaces due to changes in the reflectivity of the floor materials and the glazing material, or both, for enhancing the illumination will be determined. For the study, a square type of atrium (four sided atrium) has been chosen, and during the study, a physical scale model has been used, for the analysis of the light distribution within the atrium.

    Daylighting and its effects on interior atmospheres
    (1996) Tevfikler, Ayşe Banu
    In this work, daylighting has been studied from its effect on the interior atmosphere point of view. This required investigating the scope that it can be employed as a design element for the built form. Within this aspect, the various factors influencing the way that it can be presented within an interior space are examined. Several impressions have been defined previously by researchers through statistical analyses as results of lighting patterns employed within an interior. These are tried to see if they are obtainable by daylighting. Building examples which make use of different strategies of daylighting are chosen and examined as to whether the defined impressions were felt as a consequence of the daylighting on the interior atmosphere.
