The need to achieve energy efficiency standards in new and existing buildings has triggered
both research and design practice aimed at reducing their carbon footprint and improving …

Museums are the main link between the past, the present and the future. The presence of
ancient historical artifacts is the main factor differentiating museums' environment from the …

Proper assessment of indoor daylighting conditions can significantly reduce energy
consumption due to artificial lighting and can improve indoor visual comfort. This paper …

Many towns and villages around the world have implemented new technologies within
lighting recently because there is an urgent need to save electricity, operational and …

This paper provides a comprehensive process that investigates daylighting performance
with regards to museum lighting (adequate lux levels versus safe light exposure) and visual …

Limited attention has been paid to daylight performance concerning layout design and
human perception of luminance environments in museums. Assessments are focused on the …

Sunlight Concentrated and transmission for daylighting via optical fibers is a booming
technology of direct utilization of solar energy. It uses optical fibers to introduce sunlight …

A spectral aging test was developed to estimate the photochemical damage of oil, acrylic
and gouache paints exposed to permanent lighting. The paints were irradiated at seven …

The need to achieve energy efficiency standards in the lighting systems of buildings makes it
necessary to optimize all aspects of them. Here, the development of a light projection system …

Exhibits are often displayed in spaces originally not designed to be museums. Thus, is
common for those spaces to fail adequate lighting display conditions, both in terms of the …
