Objective
To understand the day-lighting & lighting and acoustic characteristics & acoustic requirement in a
suggested space.
To determine the characteristics and function of day-lighting & artificial lighting and sound &
acoustic within the intended space.
To critically report and analyse the space.
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 (morning, noon, afternoon and at night).
Present the analysis in a lighting contour diagram.
Quantitative analysis is required in order to present your findings in conclusions.
Daylighting and lighting condition (identify the problems)
Present all your findings graphically as much as possible
Provide the calculation for the existing design.
Acoustic
The general site conditions (eg. 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 (morning, noon, afternoon and at night).
Present the analysis in a noise contour diagram.
Quantitative analysis is required in order to present your findings in conclusions.
Indoor and outdoor noise (identify the problems)
Project 1 : Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design
Building Science 2









Project 2 : Integration with Studio 5
Objective
To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design.
To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site
analysis).
To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary).
