The study was reviewed and approved by both the regional ethical committee on human research 'Atrium-Orbis-Zuyd', and the institutional ethical committee 'Local Advisory board on Scientific Research'.
This research chose atrium to represent one of typical animate spaces, and adopted a pair-group analysis method to isolate and analyze a single variable.
This paper is to take the design of smoke exhausting system on the atrium of a building as the research target.
The research ethics committee of Atrium-Orbis-Zuyd assessed the project and confirmed that ethical approval was not needed (11 September 2012, number 12-N-107).
The goal of this research is to show that the atrium contributes to the heating and cooling energy savings in the rest of the building, but also that the atrium itself demands a lot of energy for its air-conditioning.
To ease movement between the buildings and draw students out of the underground spaces in Mr. Pei's building, Polshek Partnership came up with the three-story atrium, which the bridges link to surrounding classrooms, lounges and research spaces.
A fully air-conditioned enclosed atrium with square plane and cross-section is considered in this research.

This research focuses on daylight assessment in office buildings with different atrium types, proportions and roof aperture designs.
With bright new galleries for temporary exhibitions as well as permanent displays, a handsome library and research centre funded by the Sackler Foundation, and the kind of atrium-like interior you expect to find in the latest shopping malls, the new Design Museum should prove to be a magnet not just for the design-conscious but curious passers-by.
The influencing factors of the smoke removal efficiency is studied in this paper including smoke evacuation quantity, atrium shape coefficient, smoke exhaust fan start-up time and heat release rate.The future research direction is put forward according to the conclusion.
