| Convertible corridors in university buildings through creating skylights to meet the environmental and architectural requirements of providing thermal, daylight, ventilation, and visual comfort. Besides achieving aesthetics, economics, and durability to improve interior–exterior visual connection, Built-environment energy efficiency and longterm sustainability.Bringing natural light and natural ventilation into indoor spaces has been a critical and necessary feature of architecture throughout history. But nowadays, Architects have become increasingly reliant on artificial lighting and ventilation, claiming that daylight and natural ventilation were a luxury that could be ignored. This response is because artificial lighting and air conditioning can be used to provide sufficient light and ventilation, especially in the corridors of university buildings in Egypt. However, due to contemporary initiatives that promote green building and passive design, natural daylight and ventilation have regained popular attention. The research study on the newly designed last level of the college of Literature- Beni Suef University, which is used recently as classrooms. Simulations reviews a concept to understand the passive behavior of creating skylights to revitalize college buildings corridors. The results reached the advantages of using skylights towards raising the efficiency of the college corridors in terms of thermal, lighting, ventilation, and energy consumption. | ||
