BUILDING SCIENCE 2 (ARC 3413)
Project 1 Lighting and Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design
This assignment is intended to be completed in a group of 5 students per group to evaluate their environment in terms of lighting and acoustics performances. We have chosed Grafa Cafe as our case study. We have prepared a measured drawing with appropriate scale of our case study and show all the necessary features which effect on the lighting and acoustics conditions of our case study.
We have carried out an appraisal of day-lighting artificial lighting, noise and sound condition(quality and quantity) in the selected case study.
Analyse and evaluate:
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 (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.
For 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)
- Present all your findings graphically as much as possible
- Provide the calculation for the existing design.
In order to carry out this project, we are to collect lux-meter and sound level meter.
