Abstract |
Daylight is one of major parameters in??the museum. To enhance space quality, many architects have tried to predict daylight performance in the Museum Design. This paper is to predict daylight performance in the exhibition space of museum installed with the various shapes of toplight. After examining the many cases of the museums, the shapes such as the horrizontal, the inclined and the vertical toplights were evaluated for the daylight performance. Also, evaluations of daylight performance were carried out for the effective transmittances of the various shapes of light well. Then, the illuminances in the workplane were simulated in order to compare??with the design illuminances for the exhibition spaces. The program used in this papers was RADIANCE and all the data simulated in this paper were conducted in the overcast sky condition. |
