Abstract Energy consumption in public atrium buildings is a critical concern. This study analyzes the thermal environment and energy performance across different atrium types to enhance the thermal conditions of atrium structures. The results showed that the internal surface temperature was influenced by the atrium's orientation, the area facing the outside, and the level of solar radiation. Energy demand was found to be particularly affected by solar radiation on the east and west sides. When examining the relationship between energy demand reduction and technical elements based on atrium type, four types: front, side, penetrating, and combined, were found to reduce energy demand, excluding factors like glass heat transmittance and internal blind elements. This study provides insights for designing atriums to improve thermal conditions in both green remodeling projects and new public building constructions.
