The document is a coursework from a Lighting design module in Bartlett, UCL.
Lighting in a classroom has several health benefits, this report evaluates the multiple aspects of healthy lighting standards for a sample classroom in Chennai, India by creating a suitable brief with current metrics. An initial daylighting analysis is performed to find the most suitable classroom orientation with a solar protractor. It is further tested using a CBDM tool “Dynamic Daylighting". Several iterations with different parameters are simulated to get an optimized classroom that suits the brief's requirement. This is further integrated with artificial lighting to befit the brief. Subsequently, lighting conflicts, current trends, and practices in India are investigated.
