“…The categories describe the ambience of surrounding environment with the human interactions to it. These elements will help and aid the architectural concept and design process in future for the said location of the Central London [13]. With that being highlighted, Muslims worldwide especially those in the Northern Hemisphere will have to adapt to the seasonal changes and continue to observe the rituals and traditions associated in mosque especially during Ramadan with devotion and reverence, regardless of whether it falls in winter or any other season [14].…”

“…The greatest approach to avoid the sweltering evening sun at the London Central Mosque during summer would be to have a sunbreak around the internal plaza area of the mosque, as shown in figure 12. Establishing through vertical or horizontal hooked sunbreak will include suggestions of verandas, projecting eaves, and other fixed horizontal architectural elements that offer shade for the walls and windows as per Figure 11 previously [13], [14]. Fixed vertical sunbreak should typically not exceed 150 percent V due to their impact on daylight and structural considerations.…”

“…Fixed vertical sunbreak should typically not exceed 150 percent V due to their impact on daylight and structural considerations. Additionally, certain laws could restrict how far they can project onto street frontages [13]. Using inclined blades like fixed blind should ideally not be turned more than 30 degrees from normal to reduce the amount of daylight lost.…”

Any religious building's holistic and ceremonial performance is profoundly and dramatically impacted by lighting research. In this study, the current situation is examined via the lens of analysis, and a performance - based preamble design proposal analysis for the study of adaptive expansion approach for London Central Mosque. Numerous studies have been done on the significance of the ornamentation of mosques and its acoustics impacts on the congregational activities. However, few exceptions are given on the importance of daylighting effect in the mosques. Looking at the massive and widely compacted end-users in London Central Mosques especially during peak season given that the numbers of devotees is increasing each year, the objective is to understand the analysis and recommendations needed for the adaptive expansion approach in designing a daylighting framework for the northern hemisphere climate. The performance of the lighting design for London Central Mosque was the subject to few case studies referred that focused on the evolution and morphology of daylighting in religious and historical areas. Thus, this research will then conduct an observation and analysis studies as the method to materialize the findings. This study was also anticipating recommendations that suggest both passive and active design implications towards the idea of adaptive expansion. As a result, the outcome discussions demonstrate numerous implementation criteria ranging from design stages of site analysis, climate aspects to the electrical fittings and external shading devices well recommended for the best proposal assisting and improving the mosque's current circumstances. The study's findings also indicate that minimal glare and efficient lighting distribution help to reduce energy consumption, enhance reading quality, and properly illuminate public and private religion events and other activities carried out in the situation of optimum brightness of London Central Mosque.

“…Lastly, another interesting application of the tool is that it can be used to determine the potential for a neighborhood's solar heating and photovoltaic electricity production (e.g., [106]). Different studies have utilized TownScope (e.g., [67,82,83]). An advantage of TownScope is that it provides a visual and analysis tool that supports the urban design decision-making process [67].…”

Various micro-scale models for comparing alternative design concepts have been developed in recent decades. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of current user-friendly micro-climate models. In the results, a vast majority of models identified were excluded from the review because the models were not micro-scale, lacking a user-interface, or were not available. In total, eight models met the seven-point inclusion criteria. These models were ADMS Temperature and Humidity model, advanced SkyHelios model, ANSYS FLUENT, ENVI-met, RayMan, SOLWEIG, TownScope, and UMEP. These models differ in their complexity and their widespread use in the scientific community, ranging from very few to thousands of citations. Most of these models simulate air temperature, global radiation, and mean radiant temperature, which helps to evaluate outdoor thermal comfort in cities. All of these models offer a linkage to CAD or GIS software and user support systems at various levels, which facilitates a smooth integration to planning and design. We detected that all models have been evaluated against observations. A wider model comparison, however, has only been performed for fewer models. With this review, we aim to support the finding of a reliable tool, which is fit for the specific purpose.

“…The façade opposing this convent comprises buildings from two to four floors of various colours, built after the big earthquake in 1755. These new constructions surely have contributed to changes in daylight levels of the existing building (Almaiyah and Elkadi, 2007). Two big deciduous trees, right in front of one of the windows of the church helps to change the perception of the building and also on the light levels across the seasons of the year (Fig.…”

Light levels in the churches of the Cistercian Order are mostly related to the fulfilment of liturgical needs. The compound building of Bernardas’ Convent includes a church at the utmost southern corner that dates back to the 17th century. It only has one façade facing due southeast. This paper analyses the relationship between daylight conditions within the building before and after the urbanisation of the surrounding area; taking into account the relationship between the church, its main activities, and solar trajectory. A comparative analysis of the relationship between the actual surrounding context and the initial period after it was built (open field) is given. The highest reflectance of the street canyon has augmented the levels of available daylight.
