NEAR ST.
PANCRAS STATION (WHERE WE GET EUROSTAR TRAINS), THE BRITISH LIBRARY WORTHS TO BE VISITED NOT ONLY FOR ITS AMAZING COLLECTIONS, BUT ALSO FOR THE QUALITY OF
ITS ARCHITECTURE. THE PICTURES ABOVE SHOW THE TWO TYPES OF SKYLIGHTS COVERING ITS ATRIUM. COMPARED TO
SIDELIGHTING, TOPLIGHTING INCREASES UNIFORMITY OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF LIGHT,
BUT ALSO INCREASES SOLAR GAINS AND HEAT LOSSES DUE TO CONVECTION AND
CONDUCTION. CONSEQUENTLY, TOP FENESTRATION NEEDS TO BE EVEN MORE HIGHLY
INSULATED THAN SIDE WINDOWS.
