TY - THES A1 - Rodríguez Schaeffer, Alan Paul T1 - Lighting in urban heritage: case study of Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, Mexico N2 - As human thought was developing, likewise, the technology used for illumination was growing. But a haul through history, reviewing its pages and analyzing it, inherently brings up old and new question, like: Is it possible to alter negatively the image of historic buildings and monuments through inadequate lighting to the degree of distorting the perception that people have of the work? and if so, what are the causes that generate it? Do the light designers take into consideration criteria to protect not only historic buildings and monuments, but also the environment? What are the consequences that may generate the inadequate lighting of urban heritage to the environment? What are the factors to consider for a proper illumination of urban heritage? The answers to these questions will help lay the foundation for proper illumination of the urban heritage, avoiding at the maximum the light pollution and the effects that it generates, seeking a balance and harmonious reconciliation between the technology, urban heritage and environment, taking as a framework and the case study the urban heritage of a city from the colonial era in southern Mexico, with pre-Hispanic roots and where today you can still see through its streets and buildings an atmosphere of mysticism reflection of their folklore and traditions, this city is known as Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas.

A1 - Maltret, J.-L. T1 - Computer Aided Lighting for architects and designers N2 - Designing lightings in a 3D-scene is a general complex task for building conception as it is submitted to many constraints such as aesthetics or ergonomics. This is often achieved by experimental trials until reaching an acceptable result. Several rendering softwares (such as Radiance) allow an accurate computation of lighting for each point in a scene, but this is a long process and any modification requires the whole scene to be rendered again to get the result. The first guess is empirical, provided by experience of the operator and rarely submitted to scientific considerations. Our aim is to provide a tool for helping designers to achieve this work in the scope of global illumination. We consider the problem when some data are asked for : on one hand the mean lighting in some zones (for example on a desktop) and on the other hand some qualitative information about location of sources (spotlights on the ceiling, halogens on north wall,...). The system we are conceiving computes the number of light sources, their position and intensities, in order to obtain the lighting effects defined by the user. The algorithms that we use bind together radiosity computations with resolution of a system of constraints.

In einem zweiten Schritt werden Auslegungskriterien für Tageslichtkontrollsysteme festgelegt und ein Auslegungskonzept erarbeitet. Auf dieser Grundlage wird über Simulationen mit Siview/Radiance das Potential 12 verschiedener Tageslichtkontrollsysteme für verschiedene Himmelszustände ermittelt. Über eine neu entwickelte Methodik wird die Tageslichtautonomie für verschiedene Fassadenorientierungen unter Einsatz der entwickelten Tageslichtkontrollsysteme für den Standort Rio de Janeiro ermittelt. Der Einfluss der Möblierung wird beispielhaft untersucht. Abschließend wird eine energetische Bilanz, die sowohl die Kunstlichteinsparung als auch die Kühllast durch Kunst- und Tageslicht berücksichtigt, an zwei Systemen beispielhaft erstellt. N2 - In this study of day lighting in the tropics the development of the architecture in Rio de Janeiro and its response to the climate are described in the first stage. In addition to this the daylight situation in Rio de Janeiro and parameters for visual comfort for workstations in office buildings are analyzed. This is followed by the second stage where the design criteria for daylight control systems are drawn up and a layout manual is developed. On this basis the potential of 12 different daylight control systems is simulated and analyzed with Siview/Radiance for different sky conditions. Using a newly developed methodology, the daylight autonomy for different orientations of the façade integrated daylight control systems is calculated for Rio de Janeiro. The influence of furniture is also analyzed in the simulations. In the final step the effect of daylight control systems on the energy consumption is calculated, taking into consideration the reduction of artificial lighting as well as the cooling load due to artificial and natural lighting.
