BUILDING SCIENCE 2 [ARC 3413]- Project 2: Integration with Design Studio 5

Part 1: On-Site Assignment: Lighting and Acoustic (Group)

Learning Outcomes

- Basic understanding in analysis and evaluation of artificial lighting and acoustic properties.

- Ability to compare the qualitative characteristics of the artificial lighting and acoustic properties and apply the understanding onto different architectural and interior space requirements based on functions.

We studied Light and Acoustics properties of our respective sites (Chow Kit) for integration design studio project which includes the following:

 Sun path analysis of the micro site taking into consideration the site context (trees, neighbouring structures, etc).
 Provide sufficient data of lux levels that corresponds later to the design provision for lighting requirement.
 Record visual observation of the object colour appearance as perceived under influence of light sources on site.

Part 2: Project 2: Integration with Design Studio 5 (Individual)

Learning Outcomes

- Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting and acoustics.
- Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.

Within our own building design, we were required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting. For acoustic, we were required to identify spaces to integrate external noises and internal noises.

Task:

- identify 2 functional spaces with daylighting significance, do Daylighting Factor calculations and PSALI

- identify 2 functional spaces and propose artificial lighting for them. Show the reflected ceiling plans and calculations using Lumen method.

- identify 3 functional spaces wich peoduce internal noise (Eg. kitchen) or noise sensetive spaces (Eg.meeting room) and provide sound control solution & calculations for them(RT, STC, TL)

- identify 3 functional spaces which receive external noise and provide sound control solution & claculations for them (noise barriear calculation)
