“…Museums and art galleries are well recognised for their demanding day/lighting criteria (Kim and Chung, 2011). Museum personnel often face the challenge of illuminating the museum environment while addressing the conservation requirements of museum objects (de Hoyo-Meléndeza et al, 2011).…”

2Historic buildings have their own cultural identity, which is often related to their aesthetic qualities such as period characteristics (geometry, size, colour, form and shape), materials and construction. Daylight is one of the primary elements contributing to the distinctiveness of the visual environment of many historic buildings, but is rarely considered as one of the components that shape the character of a building when adaptive preservation schemes of historical buildings are planned. Many historic buildings were originally designed to accommodate activities different to their new use and preserving the quality of daylight that originally contributed to their visual identity is a challenging task. Maintaining the 'day-lit appearance' of a building can be particularly problematic if the building is to be used as a museum or a gallery owing to the artefacts' conservation requirements. This work investigated the opportunities of maintaining the original ambient conditions of renovated historical buildings while meeting the required daylight levels of the proposed new use. The study utilised an annual daylight simulation method and hourly weather data to preserve daylight conditions in renovated historic buildings. The model was piloted in a Turkish bathhouse situated in Bursa, Turkey, that is currently under renovation. The simulation model produces 4483 hourly values of daylight illuminance for a period of a whole year using the computer program Radiance. It is concluded that daylight characteristics should be taken into account when developing a renovation scheme. With increasing pressure on valuing historic buildings in many parts of the world, the work reported here should be beneficial to those concerned with the conservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. The study findings could also be useful to those interested in predicting potential energy savings by combining daylighting and electric lighting in historic buildings.

“…There are numbers of studies which have examined the accuracy of these softwares in recent years. These studies have examined the reliability of computer programs such as RADIANCE (Kim & Chung, 2011;Ng et al, 2001;Galasiu & Atif, 2002;Reinhart & Walkenhorst, 2001) Superlite and Superlink (Galasiu & Atif, 2002), and Energyplus (Shrestha & Maxwell, 2011).…”

This research study discusses the accuracy of 3dStudio Max Design software in simulating illuminance distribution on pendentive dome mosque design. The case study is the Federal Territory Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The mosque has pendentive dome design similar to the design of the Ottoman mosques and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey. The accuracy level is evaluated based on comparisons between the predicted software and the measured-on-site data on the illuminance distribution. Both field monitoring readings and computer simulations of the mosque interior (prayer hall) were collected and data logged during the winter solstice, the day when the sun was on a perimeter at its highest latitude at the Tropic of Capricorn (23° 26′ 16″ S) which occurred on 21st December 2013. The illuminance level was measured at five locations inside the mosque. Result of this study revealed similar readings between the measured on-field and predicted computer simulation data with small marginal value difference. This study suggests acceptable accuracy readings provided by 3dStudio Max Design software for lighting simulation.

a b s t r a c tA complete review on scale model testing for buildings, considering a wide range of methodologies and new manufacturing techniques, in areas such as statics and dynamics, acoustics, lighting, aerodynamics and thermodynamics for energy efficiency is presented. On the one hand, scale model testing for buildings require different considerations and techniques and are usually focused on one specific physical field contributing to the information scattering. On the other hand, they are sometimes too general, theoretical or unpractical. Although commercial computer simulations are first option among professionals, they necessarily simplify complex phenomena and ignore, among other aspects, size effects and latest findings in fractals. The potential of complementary experiments using new manufactured scale models for buildings is raising, however, it is still missing a practical overview through different physical fields specifically for buildings with these considerations. This review gives a wide perspective and unified scope on uses and possibilities of scale model testing for buildings, from the traditional configurations of Leon Battiste Alberti to new possibilities applying complex physics and new techniques of 3D-modelling.
