Museums require a stable lighting environment suitable for exhibits as well as visitors throughout the exhibition areas. This paper suggests a lighting design method for exhibition spaces in museums that modulates the shape of toplights, affecting the balance of natural light within the space. Both scale model tests and simulations using the RADIANCE software were performed and their datasets were compared, in a complementary manner, to confirm the validity of this method. The results were then applied to an existing museum-the Seoul Museum of Art in the Republic of Korea-to confirm the performance of the method in modeling an actual environment. By modulating and controlling the parameters, the appropriate dimensions of the monitor-shaped toplight for the museum were determined. The experimental results of this study suggest that the daylighting simulation method, if properly modulated, can become an integral part of the architectural design that can produce a predictable lighting environment for a museum

Building Simulation

建筑模拟：国际期刊发表原创、高质量、同行评议的研究论文和评论文章，涉及建筑及其系统的建模和模拟。目标是将建筑科学和技术领域提升到这样一个水平，即建模最终将作为常规而不是例外用于建筑施工的各个方面。特别感兴趣的是反映建模工具的最新发展和应用及其对建筑科学和技术进步的影响的论文。

Building Simulation is an international journal dedicated to publishing original, high-quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles that focus on the modeling and simulation of buildings and their systems. The aim is to elevate the field of building science and technology to a level where modeling becomes a routine practice in all aspects of building construction, rather than an exception. We are particularly interested in papers that reflect the latest developments and applications of modeling tools and their impact on advancements in building science and technology.
