Abstract

Museums and art galleries collect, preserve, analyse and display historical artefacts and various achievement of the past. Light is basic requirement in museum design for the appreciation of art work. However, achieving daylight in museum spaces particularly in tropical climate is challenging due to its effect on artefacts and this has resulted to over dependence on artificial light. Daylighting has an important role in sustainable architecture as it affects the energy consumption in a building and also promote work efficiency through promoting good human health. In view of this, it is necessary to improve daylighting in museums in order to reduce electricity demand and increase comfort of the users and also as a tool for advance architectural creativity. Hence, the aim of this study is to test daylight performance of light pipe for optimum lighting in museum design in tropical climate.
