Site Introduction

Figure 1.2a: Perspective view of site, Bow Wow Café The site that was chosen for Project 1: Lightning and Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design is Bow Wow Café which is located in the bustling part of Puchong, Selangor. The café is a dog themed café which customers can bring their pet dogs to this café. The study area consists of the whole floor of the café. The façade of the café is mostly covered with glass panels which allows natural lighting to penetrate into the café and lit up the interior space.

Besides, it also allows the customers to look outside which is the view of the busy streets. The café is located on the first floor of a corner lot which is next to the main junction into the street, therefore, this has significantly affect the acoustic values.

Literature Review

3.1.1

Project Background

An important issue today is the mitigation of the energy consumption of buildings, which contributes in a very significant way to global warming. Within this framework electric lighting is responsible for a large fraction of the electricity consumption of office buildings in Europe (46%), despite the growing electricity demand of other electrical appliances, such as computers (34%), ventilation (7%) and air conditioning (8%); it is very significant for non-residential buildings in Switzerland, such as commercial and industrial buildings. An optimal lighting system should contribute to enhance the task contrast and discrimination, leading to better visual performance and comfort for users.

Case Study

Figure 3.1.2a: Exterior of LESO building in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Figure 3.1.2b: Cross-section of the anidolic zenithal collector showing ray-tracing of the diffuse daylight component through the system (rays emitted by the sky vault.)

The visual comfort assessment of integrated daylighting and electric lighting systems was carried out in an office room (W x D x H: 3.40 x 5.00 x 2.80m) of the LESO solar experimental building located on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. The room facade, oriented due south, is equipped with a wooden framed double glazing window (3.20 x 1.00m) and a clearstory (3.20 x 0.70m) located above an external light-shelf (Figure 3.1.2c). An anidolic daylighting system is placed next to the upper window and works as a zenithally daylight collector. Most of the captured light flux, which includes both diffuse and direct daylight components, is reflected and redirected towards the room ceiling and the back wall (see Figure 3.1.2d).

The visual comfort assessment was carried out from the current user’s workplace; it was realized while the subject actually performed visual tasks under his preferred lighting conditions. The external textile blinds were controlled in order to prevent glare due to sun patches on the work plane. The desk and the VDT screen placed in front of the user were the main objects visible on the CCD camera images (see Figure 3.1.3a): snapshots were taken under different lighting conditions.

Research Methodology

The visual comfort assessment was carried out from the current user’s workplace; it was realized while the subject actually performed visual tasks under his preferred lighting conditions. The external textile blinds were controlled in order to prevent glare due to sun patches on the work plane. The desk and the VDT screen placed in front of the user were the main objects visible on the CCD camera images (see Figure 3.1.3a): snapshots were taken under different lighting conditions.

Four different sky conditions, corresponding to clear sky, intermediate sky, overcast sky and night time, were considered during the visual comfort assessment. The specific contribution of the anidolic daylighting system to room illumination, leading to a better luminance balance through a lighter ceiling, was examined by means of a particular experimental set-up: a thick-black curtain was placed for that purpose on the reflective surfaces of the device from time to time (see Figure 3.1.3a, right) in order to eliminate temporally the light flux issuing from the daylighting system. Users switched the electric lighting system on during dimmed daylighting conditions in order to obtain the required desk illuminance on the work plane.

Measurement Result Analysis

Luminance contrasts The luminance contrast occurring on the different surfaces in an office room is a very important factor with regard to the assessment of visual comfort and the evaluation of glare risks. It can be applied to both direct and indirect (reflected) components of daylighting and electric lighting, which can also induce glare sensations. The different luminance contrasts, which occurred in the office room, were monitored and analysed accordingly, serving as a first step for more comprehensive visual comfort assessment.

Vertical and work-plane illuminances play an important role in an office environment; this is particularly true in office rooms equipped with VDT screens, which are characterized by low screen luminance (100cd/m2). To avoid excessive luminance contrasts in office rooms (in between the VDT screen and its immediate surroundings), the different room surfaces’ luminance must be kept low enough.

Glare rating Discomfort glare is a sensation of annoyance or pain caused by high luminances located in the view field, which does not affect visual performance. Two causes of glare have been identified so far: excessive luminance contrasts in the view field and saturation of the visual system. Excessive contrasts are usually caused by very bright surfaces, which are perceived in a much darker environment (such as a pocket light spot on the floor in a cellar for instance). Saturation affects the visual system when the retina is stimulated by a too large amount of light (such as a pocket light beam oriented towards the eyes for instance). Daylighting within buildings can cause either effect or each of them in an individual manner.

In any case, glare calculations do not distinguish between these two effects.

Nowadays none of the formulae, which are available for daylight discomfort and glare rating, is unanimously recognized as a standard at the international level. The most cited one is the daylight glare index (DGI) (Equation 3).

The latter is a modified version of the IES glare index formula (IES GI) (Equation 1) is suggested by Hopkinson for large glaring sources. The relationship in between the two glare indexes (DGI and IES GI) for a given light source is expressed by (Equation 2). Because the tolerance to glare is higher for daylighting than for electric lighting, as shown by several authors, a more specific formula was elaborated for daylight. It has been shown, moreover, that the glare sensation caused by a single window does not depend on its size and the distance to the latter: it is a function of the sky luminance perceived through the window.

The modified glare formula DGI, expressed by (Equation 3), was created accordingly for large-area glaring sources, such as windows; its use was recommended for daylighting conditions.

Equation 1, 2, 3 and 4 Another glare index, recommended by the CIE is the UGR (Equation 4), which was considered for electric lighting conditions. This formula is widely used for visual comfort analysis of office rooms under electric lighting conditions.

Glare rating of Daylighting System

Table 3.1.4a: Luminance contrasts observed for different lighting modes

Table 3.1.4b: IES GI, DGI and UGR glare rating scales

Table 3.1.4c: Visual comfort and glare risks assessment for 13 different lighting modes The luminance contrast values for paper and VDT tasks observed under certain daylighting conditions, such as clear and intermediate skies, are generally larger than the CIE-recommended values, as shown in Table 3.1.4a, this is mainly due to the low luminance of the VDT screen compared to the high luminance of the white sheet of paper lit by daylight and the high luminance of the window (Table 3.1.4c). More reasonable values were observed for overcast skies and night time conditions due to the lower luminance of the room environment (Table 3.1.4a).

It was also observed that the anidolic system reflects most of the daylight flux towards the ceiling, where the light bounces and is diffused towards the room surfaces during clear sky conditions. The luminance contrast between the VDT screen and the ceiling is much larger in this case than for other sky conditions. However, the glare indexes (Table 3.1.4c) indicate that the luminance of the ceiling produces lower glare sensations in this case than for intermediate and overcast skies due to the more balanced luminances on the work plane. One concern remains, however: the reflection of the bright ceiling on the VDT screens, in particular in the case of using a glossy cathode ray tube monitor.

Apart from that, the presence (or absence) of a daylight flux due to the anidolic daylighting system had no significant impact on luminance contrasts: it contributed moreover to improve the latter for clear and intermediate skies, as shown in Table 3.1.4a (configuration I-b vs. I-a for instance). The contribution of the anidolic daylighting system (together with the side windows) plays, however, a significant role regarding visual comfort. Higher glare indexes were generally observed for daylighting conditions compared to electric lighting, as shown in Table 3.1.4c.

Table 3.1.4c shows that the anidolic daylighting system leads to lower DGI values in comparison to a side window (which means better visual comfort): DGI values of 25.5 (instead of 26.8), 25.4 (instead of 26.6) and 16.9 (instead of 18.4) were observed for clear, intermediate and overcast sky conditions, respectively. This can be explained by the better luminance balance, leading to lower luminance contrasts, which is achieved due to the daylight flux collected and redirected deep into the room by the anidolic system. For the same reasons, DGP values for the office room equipped with the anidolic system, assessed using Evalglare, were also lower than those of the side window.

Integrated daylighting and electric lighting systems Using the electric lighting under overcast sky improves the visual comfort of a lighting environment: this is why users generally decide to turn the artificial lighting on. The electric light flux provides a more homogeneous luminance distribution on room surfaces for rather smooth daylight conditions.

Combining electric lighting with daylighting may also contribute to mitigate glare risks, the artificial light flux lowering the contrast between the bright sky luminance and the indoor environment. Sound DGI values were also found in this case, as illustrated in Table 3.1.4c: they were all significantly lower than those observed for identical daylighting conditions in the absence of electric light.

Electric lighting system Indirect lighting modes based on floor lamps with compact fluorescent tubes improve visual comfort in the presence of VDT screens, even during night time. The luminance contrast between the VDT screen and the surrounding walls is compatible in this case with CIE recommendations; this is not the case for the direct lighting mode.

The contrast between VDT and the window for a direct lighting system is obviously higher due to the brightness of the room. UGR values were significantly lower for indirect lighting modes (which mean an improvement of visual comfort) than for direct lighting (Table 3.1.4c): UGR values of 13.2 were observed in the first case vs. 23.4 in the second case. Task lighting did not improve the situation: the use of two 60W incandescent lamps led to the poorest observed visual comfort and highest luminance contrast.

The desk illuminance, observed during night time for the indirect lighting mode, is comparable to the one observed with daylight under overcast sky conditions: no significant discomfort glare was pointed out in both cases, indicating rather optimal lighting conditions 3.1.5

Conclusion

The anabolic daylighting system delivers definitively a larger light flux into an office room than conventional side windows. This led to larger work-plane illuminance (in the working space) and also contributes to improve the luminance balance in the whole room (mainly through light redirection on the ceiling and walls). Luminance contrasts between the work plane, the room surfaces and the sky perceived through the windows are reduced accordingly, also lowering glare risks; this is particularly

true for clear and intermediate sky conditions. Sun shadings, such as Californian blinds for instance, remain, however, necessary to avoid glare due to an excessive daylight flux.

Electric lighting remains necessary for very dark lighting conditions (e.g. late afternoon in wintertime for instance); this is also true for nightshift work. Among the lighting modes considered in this study, indirect lighting provided better visual comfort in an office room, as demonstrated through the assessment of different glare indexes and luminance contrasts. Indirect lighting is probably for that reason the preferred lighting mode in an office space, especially when VDT screens are used. The direct lighting mode, based on high-efficacy fluorescent tubes and efficient luminaries, remains the most energy-efficient lighting mode. It will probably be so until other advanced light sources, such as LED, reach a comparable luminous efficacy (up to 60–90lm/W for fluorescent tubes). Combining different lighting modes, aiming towards efficient task lighting, is another possible alternative.

Figure 3.2.1c: Measuring Tape Measuring tape is used to measure the height position of the lux meter at 1m and 1.5m to ease the data collection for light illuminance level. It is also used to measure grid line on floor while taking the readings.

3.2.2

Data Collection Method

Figure 3.2.2a: Data Collection Method In prior to data collection, 2m x 2m gridline are drawn in plan as a guideline to record readings.

The data collections are taken on 9 April 2016 and 12 April 2016 at time 1400 and 2000 respectively.

Data with lux meter (cd/m2) was achieved by placing the photo-detector and the device at the chosen position with the height of 1.5m and 1m. Readings are then taken noted. Each record was done by facing the similar direction to synchronize the result.

Procedure of Data Collection

1. Identify 2mx2m grid line and the position of the reference point

2. Hold the lux meter at 1m and 1.5m height at each reference point

3. Record the readings of the lux meter at each reference point

4. Specify the variables (light sources) that affect the data collected

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for day time and night time readings to collect 2 sets of data for comparison

6. Tabulate and calculate the data collected which will then be used to determine the light quality according to MS 1525

3.2.3

Limitations and Constraints

Human Error: Shadows play and important role when operating the lux meter. These shwdows might affect and alter the meter readings causing an inaccurate reading. Besides that, the position and angle in which the sensor is held, in height or direction would also affect the readings. To lessen the effect of this error, the number of readings taken at a specific spot was taken multiple times and the average reading was calculated in order to ensure a more accurate reading.

Device Error: The lux meter, being an electronic device, may take a few seconds for the reading to be stabilized. This is due to the high sensitivity of the sensor which may cause a delay in displaying the exact reading.

Readings taken before the stabilization value may cause readings taken to be inaccurate and leave a large gap or difference between readings. The discrepancy caused by this error was overcome by waiting a few seconds until the reading has stabilized before recording data, and also by taking more readings and calculating the average.

Natural Causes: Weather can cause a major difference in the readings taken. Weather changes during the period of data collection would affect the data collection. Therefore, Data was taken during different times of the day when the weather was constant and the average value was calculated.

Identification of Site Condition

3.3.1 Light Condition On Site 3.3.1.1 Day Lighting

Figure 3.3.1.1: Site Condition in the morning During the day, sunlight streams into the space from the large windows that cover almost 50% of the front faรงade. The effect of daylight can be felt mostly in the mass dining, private dining and smoking zones. This light seems almost too bright and glaring as some blinds installed along the large windows are used to control and reduce the amount of sun entering the space. They are usually pulled halfway down in the afternoon to reduce the contrast of light intensity from the outside with the artificial lights within the shop. The smoking area has no blinds installed and can be too bright in the daytime. The spaces located slightly further away from the window, such as the counter area and the rear end of the mass dining area however, feels rather comfortable as they are lit with the combination of the less intense sunlight and artificial lighting. The kitchen and toilet areas are unaffected by the presence or absence of daylight, as they are not in close proximity of any windows and area solely lit by artificial lighting.

3.3.1.2 Artificial Lighting

Figure 3.3.1.2a: Site Condition at night During the night, the artificial yellowish light gives off provides a hazy and relaxed mood rather than a focused and tense one, as tables are carefully placed between lights and not directly below them, so as not to cause glare from the reflection of the glossy tabletop. The shop area is relatively well and uniformly lit, with no obvious dark areas or bright areas at sitting level. The smoking room however is rather poorly lit and can be rather dim at night.

Figure 3.3.1.2b: Kitchen Condition at Site The kitchen is lit by fluorescent lighting and therefore is unaffected by the presence or absence of daylight, ensuring that the kitchen staff can fully concentrate on their jobs without any fluctuating lighting levels.

As shown from the table and calculations, the public dining area has the daylight factor of 1.03% (average) in the morning and 0.56% (poor) in the evening. This indicates that there are insufficient daylighting systems or daylighting design aspects being implemented in this café. The only means of daylight entering the space would be from the curtain wall that covers the front façade of the shop that faces the street. However, during the day, the employees usually pull the window blinds half to three quarters the way down and rely more on artificial lighting to illuminate the space. This action on their part is highly inefficient as it wastes electrical energy when daylight could just be let into the dining area during the day to illuminate the space.

As shown from the table and calculations, the public dining area has the daylight factor of 1.36% (average) in the morning and 1.18% (average) in the evening. This indicates that there are somewhat adequate daylighting systems or daylighting design aspects being implemented in this space. The space is rather small and faces one of the front curtain walls of the shop. However, the window blinds were adequately controlled to allow just the right amount of sunlight to enter the space without it being too bright or too dark. However, the morning and evening readings to not differ too much in this space, indicating that daylight does not affect the illumination too much as windows only cover one side of the space and it is more reliant on artificial lighting to illuminate the space.

This indicates that there are somewhat adequate daylighting systems or daylighting design aspects being implemented in this space. However, the space might be too reliant on sunlight as the difference in the readings between morning and evening area are rather large. This situation can be rectified by increasing the number of lights in installed in this space.

Afternoon and Night Light Contour Plan (diagrams and description)

As seen from this diagram, sunlight streams into the space from the large windows that cover almost 50% of the front façade. The effect of daylight can be felt mostly in the mass dining, private dining and smoking zones. The spaces located slightly further away from the window, such as the counter area and the rear end of the mass dining area however do not receive any direct sunlight as they have no other openings to the street or skylights.

Artificial lights installed in the space were the Philips Evolution LED 3â&#x20AC;? down lights that effectively brighten the spaces that are further away from the window, especially the counter and smoking areas to allow for better illumination of the internal spaces.

As shown is a combination between the artificial lighting and natural lighting in the space. The lamp distribution is adequate, or in some areas, rather excessive artificial lighting, especially in the internal spaces.

3.5 Conclusion Lighting is of utmost importance in a restaurant as it serves to set the mood and atmosphere of the dining area and is required for the staff to work in an efficient manner. The usage of warm spotlights in the dining area adds to the atmosphere of the space but the narrow light spread might be insufficient to efficiently illuminate the space.

From our observation and data, the Mass Dining and Private Dining Areas receive an adequate to large amount of daylight that can be controlled by the means of some adjustable window blinds that cover at least 2 sides of the zone. However, the blinds are usually pulled a bit too low and the amount of daylight entering the space is too little as the staff rely more on artificial lighting that over-illuminate the space in the day and result in energy wastage, where, they could very well take advantage of the daylight that would illuminate the area. This action by the staff might be to minimize thermal gains by sacrificing the lack of daylighting, but by installing excessive luminaires, they are also contributing to thermal gains to the internal spaces. Ideally, thermal gains and daylighting should be thought out and planned to achieve a balance without eliminating one element for the other.

Figure 3.5a: The blinds that cover most of the windows on Mass Dining Area From our calculations we have also discovered that the lighting choice at Bow Wow CafĂŠ is far from ideal. Even though they currently have 19 lamps exceeding the standard, they chose to use spotlights that have a rather narrow beam. Any reduction in number of lights would result in an environment that has a large number of areas that are either too dark or too bright. Thus, our suggestion would be to use lights that have a wider beam or diffused lighting to avoid dark or bright spots.

Figure 3.5b: The narrow beam emitted by the spotlight in Dining Area, Philips Evolution LED 3â&#x20AC;?.

Figure 3.5c: Light proposal with wider beam.

The smoking area on the other hand, relies too heavily on natural lighting as it is far too dim at night and requires an additional 21 lamps to meet the MS1525 standard. It also uses lamps that are too weak as adding 21 lamps into such a small area would not be efficient or visually desirable, we would suggest the usage of more powerful lamps or lamps that have a higher F (luminous flux) value so that the number of lamps can be reduced.

Figure 3.5d: The dim beam emitted by the spotlight in Smoking Area, Philips Candle LED.

Figure 3.5e: Light proposal with stronger beam.

Overall, this cafĂŠ is well lit but relies far too much on artificial lighting that result in energy wastage due to their efforts in avoiding thermal gains from daylight entering the space. Making small changes to the light type and distribution however would solve most of the problems experienced, for example, reducing the number of lights in the dining area and allowing more daylight to enter the space especially during the day, and switching the light type in the smoking room to a more powerful lamp, reducing its reliance on daylight and avoiding the addition of too many luminaires in a small space, all while having a more uniform distribution of luminaires.

Acoustic Analysis

4.1

Literature Review

Acoustic comfort is an important consideration in the design and construction of office buildings. Since the acoustic performance of a building will affect its inhabitants psychologically, sociologically and physiologically, post-occupancy evaluations of acoustic performance are often necessary to ensure that acoustic design features are effective. Since acoustic quality is often affected by the interplay among the building's interior, structural, envelope and mechanical systems, it is critical to assess acoustic quality in an integrated manner. Subjective views of occupants regarding acoustic quality in the office and warehouse spaces are also sought. It was found that both objective and subjective data support each other. By understanding how these problems are caused by the interactions among the different building systems, specific solutions were proposed. This project is motivated by an effort to promote workplace comfort and sustainability within the framework of corporate social responsibility.

4.1.1

Project Background

Since provision of acoustic comfort can be considered as a form of employee welfare and a decisive factor of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; productivity, many companies in Singapore are paying more attention to enhancing workplace acoustics. Kua (2009) devised a set of guidelines on corporate social responsibility, known as Corporate sustainable-developmental responsibility (CSdR), in which acoustic parameters are considered as one of the measures of the social aspect of corporate-level sustainability. Three Singapore based multi-national companies participated in the project and adopted these guidelines in a trial.

4.1.2

Case Study

Figure 11: SKF Office Building located on Changi South Lane, Singapore.

This detailed acoustic evaluation was conducted on the main office building of one of the companies.

The building is located in Singapore. It is three-storeyed and has two mezzanine floors. The floors at the warehouse are built as flat floors for trucks movements within the storage facility. The building is built with post-tension reinforced concrete slab (thickness of 310mm) at the first and second storeys, and metal truss roofing at the third storey. The average column span is 8.1 and 13.6m, and columns are positioned centre-to-centre of the grid. The floor-to-floor height is generally 4.4m. The building uses a variable refrigerant volume system for air-conditioning with the outdoor units located on the roof; the end unit is in the form of a fan coil unit (FCU) in the office.

4.1.3

Measurement Result

Locations A â&#x20AC;&#x201C;D (refer to Figure 2) were found among the highest measured noise levels during the boundary noise measurements. Noise measurements were carried out for a period of 15min at each location with a 5min interval. The measured maximum noise levels (LAeq,5min) within the 15min interval were found to be within the specified limit of 75dBA LAeq according to the guidelines by NEA. The corresponding statistical acoustical quantities are presented in Table 1. The indoor noise map for the 1M, 2M and second floor warehouse (presented in Figure 3) showed that the noise levels were all within the maximum permissible level of 85dBA LAeq set by the MOM. Instantaneous noise measurements were carried out at various locations in the office. It was observed that the average instantaneous SPL fluctuation was in the range of 3dBA. It was therefore considered that the overall noise level was generally steady. Spot measurements (LAeq,1min) were later taken at several locations to create a noise map for different office spaces. The results are summarized in Table 2. Even though the statistical acoustical quantities for evaluation of the space at each specific measurement location were not studied, the variation of the SPL within the indoor space illustrated the fluctuation of acoustic pressure over the entire office space during the time of measurement.

4.1.4

Intergraded Acoustic Solutions

A building can be divided into four main systems: the structural, interior, facade (or envelope) and mechanical systems. The prescription of acoustic solutions is done in an integrated manner; that is, modifications are made to either all or a few of these four building systems so that they result synergistically in better acoustic quality in the building.Furthermore, the improvement of acoustic quality should not be achieved at the expense of thermal comfort, indoor air quality, spatial quality, visual quality and building integrity.

The control of overall outdoor noise was poor according to the above measurement as the outdoor vehicle noise is considered as one of the most obvious. Such insufficient sound isolation can be effectively addressed by improving both the envelope and interior systems: that is, looking at the envelope and interior systems as constituting an integrated solution. Presently, the provision of a single glazing window only provides a moderate range of sound insulation (approximately 10dBA). Reapplication of some of the window seals around numerous windows was therefore recommended. The company is currently considering the use of double glazing windows for office areas facing major road traffic. The use of the double glazing window with an air gap in between provides a better control of outdoor low-frequency traffic noise. A double-glazed window with 4 16 6mm will typically achieve a minimum of 25â&#x20AC;&#x201C;30dB sound reduction.

The improvement on the structural system can be done via the use of an acoustical ceiling and an absorptive wall surface to provide improved speech intelligibility and control of echo in the office spaces

was suggested. Secondly, higher workstation partitions were recommended (around 1.72m) to replace the existing systems.

The recommendation for improving to the interior and mechanical systems are made for the company.

Firstly, background noises from air-conditioner diffuser units could be controlled through the use of a low-noise fan and by controlling the fresh air speed. Secondly, further improvement could be made by the application of absorptive lining in the duct. Generally, a rectangular duct lined with a 100mm thick rock wool blanket (nominal density 80kg/m3 ) and an airspace of 300mm has a typical attenuation of 3 – 9dB/m for frequencies ranging from 125 to 500Hz, 9 –6dB/m for frequencies ranging from 500Hz to 2kHz, and 6 –1dB/m for frequencies ranging from 2 to 4kHz.

4.1.5

Conclusion

This article presents an assessment of the acoustical quality of an office building. Objective measurements show the degree to which the chosen building’s working environmental conditions satisfy the evaluation criteria.

The FCU of the HVAC system was identified as a possible noise source within the office space. Sound insulation was an even greater challenge, considering that the offices are situated next to warehouses.

The interior designs of the office space were responsible for poor RT and low speech intelligibility and privacy. The choice of partial height partitions (even though acoustically insulated) also contributed to negative acoustical performance within the office space. The perimeter closed offices were also affected by traffic noise on the roads outside the building and vehicles at the loading and unloading bay within the building.

4.2

Issues on Acoustic Design

4.2.1

Acoustic Comfort Acoustic comfort greatly affects the mood of the inhabitants within one building. Indoor noise and outdoor noise directly dictate the acoustic comfort or discomfort. Generally, indoor noise is associated with human activities in the premise:; outdoor noise emanates from traffic as well as activities conducted outside the building.

4.2.2

Acoustic and Productivity Spatial acoustics may contribute to productivity in particular building. Unconducive acoustic environments may dampen productivity. The productivity also depends on the building’s functions as well as the type of patrons that occupy the building, “Acoustical comfort” is achieved when the workplace provides appropriate acoustical support for interaction, confidentiality and concentrative work” (GSA, 2012).

4.2.3

Acoustical Discomfort and Health Noise is an increasing public health according to the World Health Organization’s Guideline for Community Noise. Noise can have several adverse health effects, hearing loss; sleep disturbances; cardiovascular and psychophysiological problems, etc. Articulate measures have to be carried out to ensure that acoustical discomfort does not exist in spaces where there is human occupation.

Measuring Tape Measuring tape is used to measure the height of the sound level meter at a constant 1 meter high.

4.3.2

Data Collection Methods

To obtain accurate reading, the sound level meter was placed at the same height from floor at every point which is 1.5m. This standard is being used as it enables the reading of sound level meter to be more accurate. The person holding the sound level meter will not talk and make any noises to ensure the readings will not be affected during data collection. Each recording was done by facing the similar direction to synchronize the result. Plans with a perpendicular 2m x 2m grid line are used as a guideline while recording the readings and plotted on the plan. Same process is repeated in each zone as well as different time zone (peak and non-peak hour)

1. Identify 2mx2m grid line and the position of the reference point

4. Specify the variables (noise sources) that affect the data collected

2. Hold the sound level meter at 1m height at each reference point

3. Record the readings of the lux meter at each reference point

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for peak and non-peak hours, to collect 2 sets of data for comparison

6. Tabulate the data to determine the sound quality based on Chartedred Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Standard

Figure 14: Procedure of Data Collection for Acoustic

4.3.3

Limitations and Constraints

Human Limitation The digital sound level meter device is very sensitive to the surrounding with ranging of recording between data difference of approximately 3-4 of stabilization. Hence, the data recorded is based on the average data shown on the screen. The device might have been pointed towards the wrong path of the sound source, hence causing the readings taken to be slightly inaccurate.

Sound Sources Stability During peak hours, the vehicles sound from the main street varies from time to time, influencing the data collection process.

Case Study External Voices

Figure 15: Noise sources at Bow Wow cafe Located in Jalan Kenari 19, Bandar Puchong Jaya. Bow Wow Cafe is sandwiched by two busy streets, Jalan Kenari 19 amd 19a. Vehicular movements is the prominent factors that contributes to the external noise. During peak hour, traffic alone has contributed the noise fluctations at 75 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 85 dB as well as 55 -60 dB at non-peak hour.

Besides, the junction at Jalan Kenari 18 and 18a both contributes to the increase of noise level around the vicinity of the compound.

Through out this project, I have learn some knowledge about light analysis and acoustic. First, I am able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting for example natural daylighting and artificial lighting. I learn to use the lux meter to measure the spaces and able to produce an analysis of factor which affect the lighting design of space. Besides, I also learn more about lighting layout and arrangements by using certain methods and calculations for instants lumen method and psali.

Another than that, I understand and could able to determine the characteristic and function of day lighting and artificial lighting within the intended space. Next, I learn to cooperate with the group members to complete this project. Time management is important so that we can able to have site visit to the chosen site to have analysis and also to produce certain analysis and transfer it into report and presentation board. I can able to produce a good quality of documentation of images, drawings and detailing of the construction elements which is relevant to lighting design using Autocad and Ecotect. Lastly, I can demonstrated the analysis and conclusion based on mathematical calculations and validation method.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objectives This project is an integration project with Design Studio 5. The aim is to integrate the understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustic in the context of the final design. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustic. The objective is to show the understanding of lighting and acoustic principles in the design. The sustainability issue is to solve the design problems.

1.2 Project Description The design intention is to make people appreciate and experience the old charm of Sentul, in the form of an art library; by making them slow down their pace in terms of walking or driving. The facade with contrasting effect if people come down Jalan Haji Salleh on either directions. From the KTM commuter station, passerby will be greeted with a purposes built huge-angular blank wall frontage. The objective is to deter people from zooming pass the site and aroused their curiosity to find out more about the building. The angular wall also carved out the entrance to the building.

If the passerby coming in from the Fennel condominium direction, they will greeted by huge bright openings that stretches from the ground to the sky. This will give the passerby the biggest invitation to the building. By combing these two effects, it is to give the visitors an experience of contrast- solid and void, enclosure and openness.

The library also provides art program to invite art lovers and students from nearby schools.

Through art, bring user unexpected sights to get to know from the people and places in Sentul. Pockets spaces are introduce at different level and different area to reflect the activities at Sentul and capture views.

The pocket space are not just for reading, could also double as painting room or studio. So artist and reader can both paint or read at different position within the library.

The sound pressure for sitting lounge is 40dB. The combine SPL reading of 71.19dB of Jalan Haji Salleh is too high for sitting lounge. The design solution proposed to address to this issue is to create a buffering zone which is the courtyard facing the front of Jalan Haji Saleh. Besides, the faรงade of the ground floor sitting lounge space is flanked with concrete panels with Rockwool insulation to absorb the sound from the traffic entering the sitting lounge.

The sound pressure for library reading area is 35dB according to Australian Acoustic Association standard.

The combine SPL reading of 80.04dB is too high for a reading area.

The design solution is to arrange the spaces according to zoning during the design planning stage. A courtyard and the services area are placed before the reading area to act as the buffer zone between the street and the reading area. The outdoor courtyard is also planted with trees that can absorb the noise.

65dB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 36dB = 30dB The overall transmission loss from the children area to the library quiet reading area is 30dB. The sound pressure level at the children area is 65dB, the sound that transmitted through the wall into the library reading area is 30dB. According to the noise criteria environment perception, 30dB is a suburban living room environment. Besides, it is lower than the standard SPL of the library reading area which is 35dB. Therefore, it is an ideal value for the library reading area as the noise from children area does not penetrate to the reading zone and disrupt the concentration of reading.

70dB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 34.65dB= 35.35dB The overall transmission loss from the sculpture workshop to the library newspaper and magazine area is 35.35dB. The sound pressure level at the sculpture workshop is 70dB, the sound that transmitted through the wall into the library newspaper and magazine area is 35.35dB. According to the noise criteria environment perception, 35.35dB is a suburban living room environment. Besides, it is lower than the standard SPL of the library general area which is 40dB. Therefore, it is an ideal value for the library newspaper and magazine as the noise from sculpture workshop does not penetrate to the newspaper and magazine area.

This project aims to integrate the understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context of final design of studio 5. Through out this project, I am able to show the understanding of lighting and acoustic principles in my final design. I can solve the design problems in relation to sustainability issues for example natural day lighting and site analysis. I can also design spaces base on the knowledge incorporating lighting and acoustic. Besides, I am able to produce site analysis which document, interoret and analyze the site context in relation with lighitng and acoustic. I learn to explore and apply understanding of building physic for example lighting towards building or construction technology and building materials on existing building projects. Next, I can produce the calculations of lighting task and acoustic task. I also understand that critical analysis of the spaces is important to determine the problem and learn how to solve the problems based on my undertanding and research og lighting and acoustic solutions. Lastly, I am able to demonstrate the analysis and conclusion using Autocad, Revit and Ecotect to produce clear images and drawings.
