Effective design solutions for skylights in townhouses

Abstract

Skylights in townhouses are an indispensable element in the architecture of townhouses due to their narrow horizontal, deep and high-rise construction, adjacent to each other with townhouses with only 1 front is open and the other 3 sides are adjacent to the house on both sides and the house behind, so it can't get wind and light. In fact, the current construction design still has many shortcomings that affect the effect of skylights, so in this article the author has clearly pointed out those limitations and given a group of special design improvement solutions. specially for the top of the skylight to solve those problems. Through experimentation at the townhouse project designed by the author, in fact, improvements in the design of the top of the skylight have been applied and compared with adjacent townhouses on the same street in order to have similarities. direction and climatic conditions. Measuring the parameters of temperature, humidity and wind speed and then converting to an equivalent effective temperature for comparison has shown a marked improvement in the efficiency of microclimate comfort in houses. apply innovative solutions.
