This map shows earthquakes and their depth over the past 15 years. The link will show a time lapse video of these quakes. It is interesting to see where they commonly fall, being mostly on fault lines and more commonly in the Northern hemisphere.
This map shows transport noise. Blue being the loudest and cream being quiet. This map was chosen as is uses bright bold colours that flow together harmoniously. Sound maps are not something people see in everyday life nor are they things that are taught, similar maps include smell and taste maps.

This is an air traffic map showing flights across the globe and where they are tracking. The reds represent many flights with overlapping flight paths where the soft yellows are single flights. This map was chosen as its not something people think about in everyday life.

The following map shows current flights which were taken at 6pm 13/8/19. The link will show the current flights at any time around the globe as well as plane details including make, model, departure, arrival times and locations, as well as a 3D terrain image of the current flight. This map is very interesting g as we can get this much detail at our fingertips however they still manage to “loose� a plane. Not only does this map show large commercial flights but also shows lightweight aircraft on radar and helicopters.

EVALUATION OF SPACES I am most connected to AMDC 509 as I have classes in that room and have most of my classes on level 5. The indoor environment provides a comfortable space for study and learning as it is enclosed from the elements unlike the car park whilst having acoustic properties which reduce noise unlike the concrete floors of the atrium. I only come to University for classes and usually catch the train in so have no need to use the car park, therefore have had no prior experience with it. The same goes for the atrium, I have walked through to get to LB but never sit and study as there is lots of noise and it gets very cold due to the open roof and automatic doors.

CARPARK MAP OF QUANTITIES
EVALUATION OF SPACES The readings matched how I felt in most of the spaces. The only outlier was the wind through the Carpark and Atrium made it feel colder than the thermal readings. The readings were fairly similar to standards. The typical sound in an office is 48-52 dB whilst our readings came back with 31.4-75.1dB; the typical light level of an Atrium n an overcast day is 1000+ lux, whilst we read 2300 lux; and the normal office space temperature would sit between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius whilst ours was 17-25 degrees, this reading may be due to the large windows on one side of the room. When comparing each of the different spaces readings they matched the functionality of the spaces. The carpark is cold, dark and fairly noisy whilst AMDC is a lot warmer, light and quiet, which shows the drastic change in functionality of the spaces.

Solar Power for Electricity Supplement Water Collection for Use
DAYLIGHT
VENTILATION
This building uses daylight through large floor to ceiling windows on the first floor, smaller windows on the other floors and a skylight on the top floor.
The space has “passive ventilation.� (Lendlease n.d.) There are many door openings on the ground floor as well as louver and sliding windows on all levels for airflow throughout the building. There are exhaust fans located on the ceilings of each level to take out old stale air.
Daylight is also used in the form of solar energy which is harness on the buildings roof and used to power 30% of the buildings needs. (Lendlease n.d.)
FIXTURES
WATER COLLECTION/ TREATMENT/USE
The library used “LED lighting” and “water saving fixtures” on all levels. (Lendlease n.d.) There are 85kW solar panels on the roof s well as a 55,000L water tank to supplement some of the buildings needs. The building is fitted with hydronic slab heating on the ground floor to keep it warm during cooler months.
This building has a 55,000L water tank. This is used throughout the building where water is required such as flushing toilets, basins and watering the park lawns. (Lendlease n.d.)

(Enso 2014)
RECYCLING The library uses rubbish and recycling bins on eack level as well as having battery collection and plastic recycling bins for 3d print filament in the workshop area. All the timbers used in this build have been recycled such as the deck, beams and staircase.
MATERIALS The building used recycled and reclaimed timbers including Iron bark, Tallowwood, European Spruce CLT and reclaimed timbers from Victoria Harbour’s South Warf. (Lendlease n.d.) Iron bark and Tallowwood make up the library’s facade, whist the deck is the reclaimed timber from Victoria Harbour. (Lendlease n.d.) The building is composed of 1000m3 European Spruce CLT, 55,000 screws, 110,000 nails and 8 tonne of brackets. (Lendlease n.d.)
INTER-RELATIONSHIPS There are 85kw solar panels along the roof of the library which produce 30% of the buildings power needs daily. There is a 55,000 L rainwater tank which collects water off the roof of the building and uses it for hand basins, toilets and parkland watering.

Building 14G is currently a photo media studio however the building is unused and rundown. Tests will be undertaken to rate the building on Wind speed, Temperature, Humidity, Sound, Light and Gas. These measurements will be taken into consideration when retrofitting the space for a Architecture studio to make it comfortable and usable. The Architecture students want to maximize natural light and ventilation in the space to keep them healthy and awake whilst working. They find that other buildings in the University do not do this well for long periods on computers designing and studying as it tires them out. The building will need to include a WC, Office, Kitchen, Storage and 3 studio spaces (open able).

Upon arrival at building 14G the day was warm, the sun was out and air was clear. Once stepping foot into this building and closing the door it felt like we were in a very different place. It was cold, dark and quiet until we started talking, the walls and floor echoed the noise around the room, and once the light switch was flicked on we could see the space we walked into. The doors were closed to every room so no natural light entered the main entrance only the kitchen, WC and study. The artificial lighting was adequate for a house, lounging around or minimal light photography however not for study or reading, let alone as there a place to sit to do this. The only form of airflow was a ceiling fan and split system air-conditioning unit, which were off at the initial recording on the 5/9/19, and the fans were on in one of the rooms on the 12/9/19. None of the few windows were open able to the outside world, meaning the only airflow into the building was when an exterior door was opened to let someone enter or exit. The humidity of the space felt no more or less then any other building or outside at the time, which was comfortable.
The Building Standards for an office space are as follows: Air Quality CO2 <800 ppm Sound <40 dB Temperature 21-24 C Light >320 Lux Humidity 40-60 % Building 14G looks rundown and unused in its current state, with no tables chairs and minimal lighting and Ventilation to get by.

The CO2 levels are very high in some spaces getting to 1500ppm whilst there is no appliances running or anyone in the room. The temperature averages at 16.6 C without heating or cooling running and minutes after the lights have been turned on. The humidity is slightly above the building standard sitting at 63.6%. Amazingly light is adequate in most of the spaces sitting above the 320 lux however this is artificial lighting. There is only 3 windows within the entirety of the building in the least used spaces. All the sound levels taken were below the standard of 40dB however the building was not in use. As the flooring is concrete this reading would be significantly higher when it is in use.

Building 14G had many aspects that could be improved including: Temperature, Ventilation, Sound/ Acoustics and Natural Light. The retrofit of this building has improved all the spaces to make it a usable and livable building. The brick exterior has been kept to keep with the historic street appeal along the rest of the street and in the local area. The Roof overhangs the cut-ins to provide shading from direct light especially from the morning and afternoon summer sun Double glazing has been used on all the windows and doors to keep out the sound of passing trains and road traffic as well as keeping the building cool. In conjunction to this the North facing windows have also been tinted. Acoustic Insulation and Plasterboard has been used throughout the building to keep out exterior noise as well as making the studio and office spaces sound proof for more effective work. Overall the performance of 14G has been improved to maximize natural light and ventilation whilst providing auditory and thermal comfort.
