Ventilation This building integrates window vents, cross ventilation, and night ventilation into its system, ensuring effective temperature control and maintaining a comfortable environment. Lighting - south-facing windows flood the space with daylight throughout the day, while west-facing windows illuminate the light pavilion. This design prevents constant sunlight exposure in the entire building, regulating thermal mass. Renewable Energy - The building employs microcrystalline solar panels to achieve off-grid energy efficiency. This sustainable energy source powers LED lights and supports minimal energy consumption for the café. Waste & Water This building incorporates rainwater harvesting systems to supply water for composting toilets and the café. Any generated waste is composted, contributing to sustainable practices.

Usually, the threshold recommended for average daylight an office building is 2.5% - 5% taking that in consideration, my building falls below the recommended threshold which can be seen in the plans above. Level 0 on my initial plans show little to no light as the west facing wall is completely blocked off by another building, with an assumed average of less than 1% across the floor it displays the bluest area. Level 1 exhibits a more improved daylight factor (that could average around 2% - 3%) than level 0 however it still shows dimly light areas similar to level 0 where the west wall is blocked off. Similarly, level 2 and 3 allow some daylight (that could also average around 2%3%) to enter, however they can still improve on light distribution as the west and south facing walls allow little to no light in. Lastly level 4 is a double height floor that bring in light from the south facing curtain wall making it the most well light floor (that could average around 3% - 5%) out of the rest which shows a completely different spectrum to the rest of the floors. All together the floors contain a wide variety of different daylight percentages which can be beneficial in the building however they don t meet the overall threshold. To further improve the daylight factor of my building I added more windows and curtain walls to make use of natural light rather than using artificial light. Level 0 allowed minimal light in; with that I added a curtain wall to the north facing segment of the building utilising the daylight without having much direct sunlight in the room. Offices usually benefit from a high amount of daylight rather than direct sunlight as it can be distracting. Level 1 is the floor used as a working space so having a dimly light room can be beneficial as it will be less distracting however it can also be further improved by including more windows on the south facing wall. Level 2 would be used as a relaxing area for the office making a better lit area more beneficial for the people in the office having an assumed average daylight factor of 3% - 5%. Level 3 is similar to level 1 as it is used as a workspace, making a dim light room more useful. Lastly level 4 has the highest average daylight factor which can be assumed to be higher than 5% as it is a double height area with a south and east facing curtain wall that brings in daylight and direct sunlight. All together the building has a more even distribution of light in areas that benefit most from daylight and direct sunlight. 5131ASA Mariam Abbadi building and lighting analysis BIM STUDY MARIAM ABBADI
