PROJECT 1 : 

LIGHTING & ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND DESIGN

In this project, we are required to group of 6 members and visit a cafe. We are there to calculate the acoustic and lighting effect of the surrounding. Then we have to do two A2 boards and a report of what we have analysis about the cafe.

For Lighting:
- The site conditions (sky condition, building orientation, etc.).
- Take readings of daylight level, lighting level and photos (digital images) in the chosen case study at different times of day (peak and non-peak time).
- Quantitative analysis is required in order to present your findings in conclusions.
- Daylighting and lighting condition (identify the problems).
- Present a lighting contour diagram.
- Present all your findings graphically as much as possible.
- Provide the calculation for the existing design.

For Acoustic:
- The general site conditions (e.g. highway, main roads adjacent to your case study).
- Take readings of sound level indoor and outdoor and photos (digital images) in the chosen case study at different times of day (peak and non-peak time).
- Quantitative analysis is required in order to present your findings in conclusions.
- Indoor and outdoor noise (identify the problems)
- Present noise contour diagram.
- Present all your findings graphically as much as possible
- Provide the calculation for the existing design.

PROJECT II: INTEGRATION PROJECT

We are requried to identify two significant spaces in their final design for implementing the artificial and the daylighting strategies (PSALI). We are to produce to followings throughout this project:

1. A brief site analysis
2. Overall floor plan (appropriate scale)
3. Floor plans of ‘Space A’ and ‘Space B’
4. Sections of ‘Space A’ and ‘Space B’
5. Reflected ceiling plans
6. Lighting contours
7. Types of lamps to be used
8. To determine reflectance on walls, ceilings, floors
9. Daylighting calculation
10. Lumen method calculation
11. Lighting design proposal

Within our building design, we are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and daylighting. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals, and related diagrams. Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together.

Building science 2 final report from Alfred Tan

Reflection :In this project, we understand that the spaces of our community library that we are designing in studio module, integrating lighting in two spaces chosen would actually help to develop our lighting design for the interior spaces, in these two project, we understand how to utilize the natural lighting and using sufficient artificial lighting in assisting to illuminate the spaces. It is very useful as we can address how to ambience should be in the internal spaces to achieve lighting comfort for the users for our designated spaces.
