Our aim is to demonstrate the exemplary nature of the town house, which is able to draw up a set of atmosphere alternatives that regionalized the interior spaces into "sub-areas" shadowed and isolated, others more enlightened and better ventilated for users’ better quality of life. Through restitution and characterization of the created light scenes, we will try to define the bright potential of open systems and demonstrate the benefits of their renewal in the contemporary architecture. For this purpose, we will proceed to a confrontation of quality in bright environments between three town houses, taken in different times: 1. Case of a house of the eighteenth century as it was inhabited in the past, 2. Case of the eighteenth century remains such as it is inhabited today, 3. Case of a house where traditional devices have been replaced by "modern" openings. Comparing bright situations obtained in each case, is based on the results of light simulations using Solene software, illumination levels measures taken in the living areas and the results of surveys current inhabitants. The adjustment and regulation acts that performed during the day, to meter, filter and control the amount of light required will also be identified and interpreted.

Our goal is to demonstrate the quaintness of the town house, which is able to draw up a set of “ambiantal” strategies which divided the interior spaces into “sub-areas” shadowed and isolated, others more enlightened and better ventilated for users’ well-being. Through restitution and characterization of the resulted light scenes, we will try to define the daylighting potential of some traditional architectural opening systems and demonstrate the benefits of their reuse and adaptation for the contemporary architecture. For this purpose, we will compare three town houses considering their lighting ambiances during different times of the day: the first case is about a house of the eighteenth century as it was inhabited in the past, the second case represents eighteenth century vestiges such as they are inhabited today and third case is about a house where traditional lighting devices have been replaced by “modern” openings. The comparison of lighting ambiances' situations obtained in each case is based on the results of light simulations using Solene software, illumination levels measures taken in situ and the results of surveys carried out current inhabitants. The adjustment and regulation actions performed during the day by the inhabitants to meter, filter and control the amount of light required into the house will also be identified and interpreted.
