Summary of the conference
Daylight is available on earth for over 4000 hours per year, and a small fraction of it (1 to 5 % ) is sufficient to supply the requirements in lighting during daytime in most buildings. It is therefore grounded to consider not using electrical lighting during daytime. This could bring savings, in buildings used during daytime, of 1 or 2 dollars per square meter per year. However, daylight does not penetrate easily deep into a building. This is why spaces have to be organised consistently with daylight. Furthermore, daylight has a cost (the cost of collecting light through windows) and also consequences on the thermal condition (increased risks of thermal losses during winter, risks of overheating in summer). It is therefore advisable to carefully select the windows and the solar protections and to size as accurately as possible the daylight systems We will introduce some of the solutions developed for offices, schools and museums. We will show the results of thermal studies dealing with optimizations. At last, the results of an economical survey allows to compare, over long term, the actual cost of electrical lighting against natural lighting.
Biography of the presenter
Expert international dans le domaine de l’éclairage, Marc Fontoynont obtient son diplôme d’ingénieur en Génie Civil en 1980 à l’Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics d l’Etat à Lyon, avant d’engager une carrière de chercheur au Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory en Californie, et l’obtention d’un doctorat de l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris (1987). Aujourd’hui Professeur à l’ENTPE il dirige un groupe de 30 personnes dans le domaine des sciences du bâtiment (thermique, acoustique, éclairage, qualité de l’air). Mais c’est en éclairage qu’il a conduit l’essentiel de ses travaux recherche : il s’agit en particulier de développer des techniques d’éclairage naturel et d’éclairage électrique à très basse consommation et à haute qualité perçue. Ces travaux l’ont amené à mettre au point des techniques originales de diagnostic sur le terrain, de simulation optique des systèmes ou de bancs d’essais par des observateurs. Il assiste les industriels dans le développement de produits de façade ou d’éclairage avec divers industriels. La présentation comportera de nombreux exemples de réalisation dans le domaine de locaux tertiaires, d’établissements scolaires et Musées. En particulier, on présentera en détail l’éclairage de la salle de la Joconde au Musée du Louvre à Paris, qu’il a réalisé en 2005. Marc Fontoynont est actuellement Vice-Président de la Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage. Il termine actuellement un ouvrage intitulé « Guide pratique d’Eclairage Naturel ». Sortie prévue Mars 2008.
