1.0 Introduction 1.1 Objectives This project aim is to integrate student’s understanding of the principles of lighting into proposed community library the context of Medan Pasar. It encompass advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, and PSALI method as strategies for better lighting condition and produce architectural poetic qualities. Students are to show their understanding of their final design and to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues which is natural lighting and site analysis.
1.2 Project Introduction My proposed community library is located at site B, which is at Jalan Hang Katsuri. The main concept of my library is “intermediate and interaction� which simple define as how the community interact within the library with the middle void that separate the building structure into both sides. In the other way, the void serve as a light well to the whole building as it is void through the roof top level which allow natural daylight to penetrate through and provide partial natural darling to the interior. A 3D digital model is then built up to tested with daylighting, light contour and PSALI system with Sketchup Geo Location and light up analytic extension to ensure maximum efficiency of natural light and also balance of artificial light for comfort adhering on the Lux requirement of MS1525.

Space A Daylight Analysis : The area of the buffering zone has a daylight factor of 5.74% and natural illuminance of 1148 lx.The lux value is higher near the entrance as it is facing the west. The library area receives high amount of daylight from 1pm to 5pm. 5.74% is categorised as good based on the requirement of MS1512. The buffering area is for relaxation and events which needs decent amount of light. With support from artificial light at the late evenings, this area will have a gentle lighting ambience for community gatherings.

Space B Daylight Analysis : The office of the library has a daylight factor of 2.34% and natural illuminance of 468 lux. This is because the design space are meant to be enclose from the front as it is a more private space in the library which low amount of light from the back lane are allow to penetrate into the office space. The office receives highest amount of daylight from 8am to 11am which are the back glass facade takes in most light as it is facing east. 2.34% is categorised as good based on the requirement of MS1512. The office lit brightly by natural light reduce screen glare from digital screens to the user and also warms up the cold electrical room in terms of architecture poetic quality.
3.0 Artificial Lighting Analysis Lumen Method Lumen method is used to calculate the light level in a room. It is a series of calculation that uses horizontal luminance criteria to establish a uniform luminance layout in a space. It can be calculated by deciding the total number of lumens available is a space by the area of the space. The calculation is below:
E = n x N x F x UF x LLF A Where, E
= Average Illuminance to cover the space
n
= Number of lamps of each luminaire
N
= Number of luminance
F
= Lighting design lumens per lamp i.e Initial bare lamp luminous
UF
= Utilization factor for the horizontal working plane
LLF
= Light loss factor
A
= Area of horizontal working plane
Lumen method can be also calculated and used to determine the number of lights should be installed on the site. To know the number of lamps, calculation of total luminance of the space need to be done based on the number of fixtures and examine the sufficiency of light fixtures on that particular space.
N=ExA F x UF x MF Where, N
= Number of lamps required
E
= Illuminance level required ( Lux )
A
= Area at working plane height ( m2 )
F
= Average luminous flux from each lamp ( lm )
UF
= Ultilization factor, and allowance for light distribution of the luminance and the room surfaces
MF
= Maintenance factor, an allowance for reduces light output because of deterioration and dirt
Room Index Room Indes, RI, is the ratio of room plan area to half wall area between the working and luminaire planes, Which can be calculated by:
RI = L x W Hm x ( L+W )
Where, L
= Length of room
W
= Width of room
Hm
= Mounting height, the vertical distance between the working plane and the luminaire
Light Loss Factor Light loss factor is need to be considered when calculate Lumen Method. It is allowing forecasting the performance of the system over a given lifetime to meet the minimum light standard it helps minimise the reliability of system has been planned and designed for future operation. The calculation for light loss factor is as below:
LLF = LLD x LDD x ATF x HE x VE x BF x CD
Where, LLD
= Lamp lumen depreciation
LDD
= Luminaire dirt depreciation
ATF
= Ambient temperature effects
HE
= Heat extraction
VE
= Voltage effect
BF
=Driver and lamps factors
CD
= Component depreciation

There are 6 light fitting in space A to achieve a minimum of 100 lux standard requirement by MS1525 and JKR for buffering area. The lights are separated into 2 switches,A and B to balance the intensity of light of the interior. During the day no light is switch on due to enough illuminance from the daylight. During night when there are no external source of light, all lights are turned on to achieve sufficient lighting for ambience and also activities like chatting or gathering with friends which does not required high intensity of light.

Night There are 20 lights fitting in space B to achieve a minimum of 500 lux standard requirement by MS 1525 and JKR for computer usage room. The lights are separated into 4 switches, A, B, C and D. only 60% of lights are turn on during day time due to the external daylight provided at the glass curtain wall. During the night all lights are turned on due to high requirement of lux value by MS 1525 as computer screen produced glare, the background artificial light is to reduce and suppress lights from the computer screen.
