Lighting Cultural Heritage is a complex task: light is necessary for the act of seeing, it can even enhance the visual experience [1,2], in addition proper lighting can significantly cut down energy consumptions [3], but on the same time it has detrimental effects on exhibits, especially daylight. In order to safeguard the exhibits from damages, national and international standards provide specific recommendations for exhibits’ exposure, based on their photosensitivity category. These recommendations are the annual luminous exposure(LO) and the Maximum Illuminance Level (Emax), museums’ curators have to verify that the display lighting conditions comply with the standards. Historical buildings are often converted into museums but, as their original purpose was different, the lighting conditions are often inadequate (e.g. too much uncontrolled daylight), therefore the lighting conditions’ adequacy of the space should be assessed [4]. As the name suggest the annual luminous exposure requires an annual monitoring campaign, unfortunately it often happens that exhibits have been exposed incorrectly for prolonged periods, and therefore it is very important to evaluate the need of a fast intervention. In this casuistry a prolonged measurement campaign is not acceptable. Simulations can help running a great number of analysis while reducing the length and expenses of a measurements campaign, however their previsions must be validated. This paper provides the data acquired through measurements and simulations inside the Cetacean Gallery of the Monumental Charterhouse of Calci, near Pisa (Tuscany Region, Italy). The data comprehends horizontal and vertical illuminance measurements, recorded on December the 6th, and simulations run in Grasshopper with the plugins Honeybee+ and Ladybug. The data are related to the research article entitled “Application of climate-based daylight simulation to assess lighting conditions of space and artworks in historical buildings: the case study of Cetacean Gallery of the Monumental Charterhouse of Calci”, published on the Journal of Cultural Heritage [5].

Exhibits are often displayed in spaces originally not designed to be museums. Thus, is common for those spaces to fail adequate lighting display conditions, both in terms of the artworks’ conservation and visitors’ comfort. In order to objectively assess if an exhibition meets the required standards it is necessary to establish a proper evaluation method. This work proposes a novel procedure relying on climate-based data and dynamic daylight metrics. The procedure, that considers both artworks’ and visitors’ needs, can provide museum curators with scientific, repeatable data. These data can help them screen out potential interventions until the most adequate is found. The main advantages of the new approach are that, if properly validated, the simulations can substitute annual measurement campaigns (thus leading to time and costs savings), and the results are very reliable (thanks to the use of climatic data specific for the site in exam) and that the effectiveness of potential interventions can be predicted simulating as many sceneries as needed. The novel procedure can be applied to assess the exhibits’ display conditions in historic building whenever daylight is the main light source. The validity of the procedure is demonstrated through its application on a case study: the Cetacean Gallery of the Monumental Charterhouse of Calci, near Pisa. The outcome of the assessment demonstrated that the Gallery is over-lit and the exhibits are being damaged, for this reason four potential interventions have been analysed and compared. The accuracy of the simulations was validated through a comparison with on-site measurements.

In recent times, infrared thermography has been often applied to sport science, in order to evaluate athletes’ performance in relation to their thermal behaviour. As there is a lack of studies for the sport of fencing, this paper aims to provide preliminary results showing the thermal behaviour of fencers of different competitive level and to provide a methodology for its assessment. In particular, thermal images were acquired before, during and after the training, as well as the metabolic rate and the rate of perceived exertion, for eight fencers with different competitive levels (international/national/veteran). Results showed that in moderate environments there was any correlation between the environmental parameters and temperature trend on athletes’ bodies, while competitive level and thermal behaviour were connected. The presence of thermal asymmetries was also detected. In general, from these preliminary results, professional athletes presented the same temperature trend. Therefore, further studies should be carried out in order to investigate these findings on a larger sample of elite athletes, as their thermal response may be important for improving their performance.

Light is one of the main factors affecting the visual experience of artworks in museums and can determine the success or failure of an art exhibition. The lighting design is not yet extensively recognized as a crucial element of museum exhibitions, but recent research studies show how different lighting arrangements can create different impressions of the artworks and affect the visual experience of museum visitors. This project involved a psychophysical study of two ancient artworks, a painted panel (14th Century) and a marble sculpture (15th Century), exhibited at the National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa, Italy. Each experiment was set up with different lighting arrangements and different luminaires, with the aim of creating different lighting contrast ratios between the analysed artwork and its background. Those lighting arrangements were presented to different groups of observers in order to investigate the trends of personal preference. The results of the surveys pointed out that, on average, the observers preferred lighting arrangements that provide a certain level of contrast, while configurations with high contrast or almost no contrast were evaluated as less pleasant, less interesting and less suitable to enhance the artworks.

Street lighting plays a crucial role in a city’s night landscape and in urban traffic management, influencing users’ comfort and safety. To contain costs of public street lighting systems and to avoid energy waste, illuminance levels on road surfaces must be adequate to fit actual traffic volumes, as prescribed by regulations. This is true not only for motorized roads but also for sidewalks, paths, and pedestrian areas. Regulations in force establish a relationship between road traffic volumes and minimum illuminance levels through the lighting classes selection procedure. Lighting classes selection is based on various para meters among which traffic volume is the most difficult to evaluate because traffic volumes are generally estimated or measured by a traffic observation campaign. In this paper, an alternative method for classes association which is based on a space syntax approach, is described. The method was applied to the case study town of Pontedera (Italy) for the analysis of the pedestrian and motorized traffic and it shows a good correlation between measured and estimated traffic volumes, demonstrating how the methodology, with a precise and quick estimation of traffic volumes, can help lead to a suitable design of the lighting infrastructure, aiming to reduce energy waste and to avoid oversized lighting systems.

Nowadays, the belief that lighting can influence comfort, productivity and people's health is well established. In educational rooms the absence of adequate levels of indoor comfort can greatly influence the learning ability of students. The evaluation of lighting indoor quality is often limited to test and check the illuminance levels of the main tasks. However, the lighting quality and the achievement of adequate levels of visual comfort strongly depend on other factors that cannot be overlooked in a detailed analysis. The authors propose an original lighting quality assessment method for the evaluation of lighting in educational rooms, aimed at analysing all the main aspects and at defining a ranking of the critical issues, in order to consider improvements. The method based on the selection of lighting criteria, sub-criteria, and related indicators. Since an analytic hierarchy process was applied to assign a weight to each criterion that has a different impact on the lighting quality. The proposed method was applied at the scale of the single classroom and of a group consisting of six classrooms, considering the buildings of the School of Engineering at University of Pisa as case study. Finally, with the aim of verifying the correspondence between results of the proposed method and actual users' perception, a subjective survey was carried out in the same investigated classrooms. A total of 420 questionnaires were filled, and the results revealed the correspondence between the proposed method and the subjective surveys, proving the validity of the method.

Solar Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation has positive and negative effects on human body tissues. Small doses of solar UV radiation are needed by the human skin for the activation of the vitamin D production. Overexposure to solar UV radiation can produce acute and long-term negative effects, such as sunburns and, in the worst cases, cataracts and skin cancers. For this reason, knowing the amount of UV doses received by people is essential to evaluate their risk to UV overexposure and to evaluate the adequate countermeasure to avoid the negative effects. The original contribution of the present study consists in having searched, collected, adapted and processed a series of technical information and analytical relations, developing an algorithm suitable for the calculation of the erythemal UV dose on sloped surfaces exposed to solar radiation, which at the moment is not present in the scientific literature. The results obtained by the algorithm have been compared to the results of a field measurements campaign, carried out in three different Italian sites. Results comparison indicated that measured and calculated values show a sufficient level of agreement, with a mean absolute error equal to 20%.

According to the international technical standards, higher lighting levels (luminance and illuminance levels) are expected in trafficked and central roads (where restrictive minimum lighting requirements are necessary) and lower lighting levels are expected in peripheral and less trafficked roads. Starting from this assumption, in this paper, the authors analyse the correlations between spatial properties (expressed by spatial indicators, for example, the integration index and the choice index) and lighting levels (expressed by lighting parameters, for example luminance and illuminance) upon roads of an urban context. The analysis has been applied to the case study of the medium sized town of Pontedera (central Italy). From the obtained results, it has been possible to observe how the correlations between integration index and luminance and illuminance values are significant in the case of roads equipped with lighting systems able to satisfy the lighting requirements established by the regulations. The presence of the discussed correlations lays the foundation for a change in the lighting design approach on urban scale, being able to set lighting requirements on the basis of space syntax results without the use of traditional methods of road classifications involving traffic volume estimations.

Lighting design for art exhibitions has a significant impact on the enjoyment and understanding of the displayed artworks. In particular, the selection of the light sources and the design of the museum space affect the visitors’ visual perceptions of the artworks and their color appearance. This project investigated some of the potential factors—the correlated color temperature (CCT) of the illumination, the overall color content of the painting and the lightness of its background—affecting a painting’s color appearance and appreciation in a museum setting. The study involved a survey conducted in the laboratory with both naïve observers and lighting experts. The CCT of the lighting was found to be the main factor affecting the painting’s appearance and the observers’ overall preference for the lighting arrangements, whereas the overall hue content of the painting and the background lightness had a minor influence. Furthermore, it has been found that the perceived brightness increases along with the CCT.

The hygrothermal behaviour of the opaque building envelope (facades and roofs) is a topic worthy of investigation for the scientific community, especially in consideration of changes in construction techniques and lifestyle habits. For the presence of waterproofing layers, placed in the outer part of a structure, hygrothermal behaviour of flat roofs is of particular interest. In this paper, an original analytical model for evaluation of the hygrothermal behaviour of ventilated flat roofs is proposed. In particular, the authors provide a method for assessing the ventilation air flow rates necessary to avoid interstitial condensation in flat roofs. Dependency of the necessary ventilation air flow rates on geometrical, thermophysical, and climate parameters is investigated and discussed. After a simplified analytical treatment applicable to any type of ventilated flat roof, some examples are shown, referred to study cases of flat roofs that are very widespread in Italy. The results obtained by the authors and discussed in the paper can be useful for architects and building engineers during the early design stage of buildings.

Street lighting is an indispensable feature for the night landscape of cities. It is important for road safety, users visual comfort, crime prevention and to augment the perceived personal safety. Realize and maintain an adequate street lighting service is very expensive for municipalities with significant impact on their budgets. For this reason, special attention should be paid to the design of new street lighting systems and to the refurbishment of existing ones, since many of them are inadequate. In light of this it is very important to implement street lighting designs that fulfil lighting requirements avoiding energy waste and light pollution and, at the same time, result economically sustainable for municipalities. In this paper, an original step by step methodology for the lighting, energy and economic analysis of street lighting refurbishment designs has been introduced and explained in detail. The methodology is suitable for use in cities of different sizes. As an applicative example, the methodology has been tested in the town of Pontedera (Italy) and the results are discussed, also providing a sensitivity analysis of the economic feasibility with respect to the variations of electricity prices and investment costs.

In contemporary architecture, the opaque building envelope is usually realised by multi-layered walls; that is, a sequence of homogeneous layers of different materials. The layer sequence and distribution affect the wall behaviour in terms of its overall thermal inertia, or heat storage capability; hence, analysis of the thermal performance of a multi-layered wall becomes very important under dynamic heat transfer conditions, as usually occurs during summer. In this study, the authors employ analytical models based on the heat transfer matrix method, with the aim of predicting the dynamic thermal behaviour of external and internal building walls. Although numerous studies have been devoted to investigating the dynamic thermal behaviour of walls, the approach followed and results obtained by the authors are original and have significant implications that are of practical interest. By using the analytical models, the effects of continuous variations in the positioning and thickness distribution of the insulation material on the dynamic thermal performance (dynamic thermal transmittance, decrement factor and time lag) are demonstrated with reference to different constructive solutions (from a light-weight wall with a surface mass of 85 kg/m2 to a massive wall with a surface mass of 294 kg/m2). Moreover, a simplified correlation is proposed, which allows for correction of the dynamic thermal transmittance and time lag of external walls to take consider the effect of the internal walls (partition walls and slabs) on the dynamic thermal behaviour of a room. The results presented in the paper can be used during the building envelope design stage as a guideline for the improvement of the dynamic thermal performance of multi-layered walls. Furthermore, the insight provided into the building envelope thermal behaviour could prove useful for understanding how to maximise the effectiveness of possible retrofit interventions.

The lighting design of exhibition space has a great impact on visual and colour perception and different lighting arrangements can create very different visual impression of artworks and, if not carefully designed, compromise the enjoyment of the viewers. This study involved the design of a new lighting solution for two of Beato Angelico's artworks displayed at the National Museum of San Matteo (Pisa, Italy). Multiple test lighting configurations were designed using different LED luminaires and different settings of the luminaires. The test lighting configurations were evaluated by a restricted group of observers through a survey in order to individuate the most suitable solution, able to enhance the two artworks simultaneously and to provide a good visual experience for museum visitors.

The Italian handicraft tradition in the construction of bowed string instruments is a very important element of the Italian cultural heritage, that has nothing to envy to other well-known traditions, such as painting and sculpture. The preservation of a handicraft musical instrument is fully incorporated in the preservation of the artworks of Italian heritage. In order to ensure suitable preservation, the systematic studies for the determination of the technical and acoustic characteristics of handicraft musical instruments are of particular interest. This study deals with the characterization of the bowed string instruments, with a particular attention to their acoustic behaviour. The idea of conducting such a research arises from the need to describe a systematic process aimed at the characterization of handicraft instruments and to collect in a single survey a description of different pieces from the Italian lutherie.

Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation covers only a minimal part of solar spectrum (5%) but produces severe effects on human health. Everyone is exposed to Sun but some outdoor workers categories are exposed not only in their leisure time but also during their working activities. To protect outdoor workers health, daily estimates of UV radiation are needed and without a national service providing a measured UV Index (UVI) in the Italian territory, UVI forecasting methods are welcomed. Forecasting methods can be classified in two major groups: methods based on the estimation of the UV total irradiance from solar total irradiance and methods based on regression models of measured UVIs. The former have greater uncertainties (about 30%) and are more suitable for epidemiologic studies, the latter, due to their better precision (about 10-20%), are more suitable for daily UVI evaluation.

The spectral emission of LED displays has a blue component that can potentially impact human health under both the photobiological and the circadian point of view. In this paper the spectral emission of three LED display has been measured and analyzed. For each display, 21 different combinations of screen settings (white, white with black test, black, and blue), brightness levels (100% and 500%) and observation distances (20 cm, 50 cm and 70 cm) have been experimentally evaluated within a test cabin equipped with a spectrophotometer and a broad band photoradiometer. The photobiological safety and circadian effects have been analyzed in order to evaluate the interaction between displays and human health.
