The National Gallery
Casting New Light on Old Masters
By Steve Vandyke

L
ondon’s National Gallery is now
better equipped to present its Old
Masters in the best possible light—
quite literally. Through the employ-
ment of Andrew Reid & Partners and
its own Trend Building Management
System (BMS), the National Gallery’s
Technical Services department has
developed and begun implementing
a new strategy for controlling gallery
roof blinds. This new system will allow
the collections to be viewed in natural
lighting for longer periods, whilst still
protecting them from direct sunlight.
In addition to enhancing the viewer’s
appreciation of a painting, the use of
daylight to provide illumination reduces
the need for artificial lighting, thus
saving energy.
The Trend BMS provides close con-

evidence of their contribution to a better

• The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 (PL 109-58)
provides tax deductions for design and instal-

• The U.S. Energy Independence and Security
Act of 2007, H.R. 6, calls for incandescent
light bulb phase-out and replacement by
more energy-efficient compact fluorescents,
halogens, and LEDs. The phase-out, to be
completed by 2020, could save $18 billion
annually in electric bills in the U.S.

IAMFA 2011, here we (and hopefully all of you) come!
The Auckland-based organising committee for the
November 2011 conference—IAMFA’s “coming of age”
conference, its 21st—has been meeting and planning since
the end of 2009. The organising committee is comprised
of: Patricia Morgan (Auckland Art Gallery), Paul Ivory
(Auckland City Council), Natalie Hansby (Auckland Zoo),
Paul Evans (Voyager, NZ Maritime Museum), Bridgette
Robinson (Museum of Transport and Technology) and
Adam Taylor (Auckland Museum).
We meet monthly at each venue in rotation, which gives
us all an opportunity to refamiliarise ourselves with all the Alfresco dining in Wellington.


years since I visited MOTAT—not since my adult sons were
young, and fascinated by all things mechanical (how simple
life was then!). What a difference and what a great venue
for you all to visit and to be charmed by! The fact that it is
right next door to the Auckland Zoo means you will enjoy
a wonderful day at Western Springs, visiting both of these
absorbing venues!
Meetings at the Auckland Art Gallery are far less inter-
esting at the moment, as the majority of Gallery staff are
housed in a Council highrise. Thankfully, however, we are
within five minutes of the Gallery building site—and before
too long the organising committee will be able to have a
guided tour of what is very quickly becoming a recognisable
art gallery. (Check out the story on progress elsewhere

Richard Day Retires

DAN DAVIES
By Maurice Evans

One of the longtime members of the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore Chapter has
decided to retire. Richard Day has decided to call it quits, and retired from the
Smithsonian Institution on July 30, 2010 after working there for 37 years.
Richard began his career in October of 1973 at the Smithsonian as a laborer.
Since then, he has held numerous positions during his illustrious career, including
building manager and facilities manager, and he retired as the Deputy Director of
the Office of Facilities Management and Reliability.
When Richard was asked what he will miss the most about IAMFA, he said it
would be the annual conferences—although you can be assured that Richard isn’t
leaving IAMFA! When asked what he plans to do with all of his free time, Richard
said he is looking forward to sleeping in, spending more time with the family, and
working on the farm. He will be truly missed by the Smithsonian.
We all wish Richard the best as he starts this new chapter of his life, away from Richard at the IAMFA conference
the hustle and bustle of the world of facilities and into the world of retirement. in 2006.

See you in San Francisco!
