An Evaluation of the Thermal Performance and Energy Efficiency of Atriums in Hotel Buildings in the UK - A Case Study of the Orchard Hotel, Nottingham (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pochampalli, P., Kaimba, L., & Rodrigues, L. (2022, August). An Evaluation of the Thermal Performance and Energy Efficiency of Atriums in Hotel Buildings in the UK - A Case Study of the Orchard Hotel, Nottingham. Presented at SET2022: International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Technologies, Istanbul, Turkey

Hotels are one of the most energy intensive sectors of the tourism industry. Research indicates that hotels consume more than half of their overall energy consumption for space conditioning alone. The building fabric has a major influence on hotels s...
