Reference/Notes

L1. RECESSED CEILING LIGHTING

A recessed light is a light fixture that is installed into a hollow opening in the ceiling. When installed it appears to have light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a downward direction as a broad floodlight or narrow spotlight. I prefer adopting LEDs as light source because it is more energy and save cost. Besides, recessed ceiling light can help to provide more coverage area, it is easier to light up every corner of my room uniformly.

L2. LED COVE LIGHTING FIXTURES

Cove lighting is a form of lighting where light is directed towards the ceiling from one side or more in order to diffuse illumination. It is an indoor form of lighting which derives its popularity from the fact that it not only hides the fixture but also generates a dramatic effect. I feel like the old lighting design of my room is too boring so I would like to change it to cove lighting to create a warm atmosphere for my room. In a cove lighting system, the use of LED bulbs makes the source of lighting energy efficient and convenient.

L3. LED MIRROR WALL LIGHT

Wall light fixtures that which can be installed along or at strategic areas of a wall. I would like to have a mirror wall light as a part of my lighting design because it is ideal for shaving, putting on makeup or doing things that requires a sufficient amount of light. Since the intrinsic economy of LED lights, the LED mirrors become energy saving and environmental, and I can use the illuminated mirrors without concerning about the electric charge. Adding on a mirror wall light can also help to improve the appearance of my room in a simple way.

V1. ACSON AIR CONDITIONER I remain the same air conditioner for the new design because the horsepower of this air conditioner is already good for cooling the whole room. It also helps to provide a more comfortable space for sleeping.

V2. PANASONIC CEILING FAN I also remain the same ceiling fan for new design because ceiling fan is more eco friendly than using an air conditioner. It also more convenient if I just want to stay at the room in a short while.

This is an energy efficient ceiling fan that can help to save money.

RESULT & REFLECTION By comparing the total heat transfer above, wall 5 has the highest heat gain because it is facing outside and the sun will provide the highest heat in the afternoon. Glass window will also affect the heat transfer from outside to the specific room.

3.0 PASSIVE/GREEN INSULATION PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 3.1 DESIGN IDEA I would like to design a product that can reduce heat transfer and control the sunlight that come into that particular space. I would also like to design a product that can be helpful to students or office workers on the work. I am going to design a product that can hang on the glass window to make it works.

3.1 PROCESS OF MAKING PRODUCT First, I am going to make this product by using recyclable things that can be found in my house. I found some cardboards, model board, foam board, a piece of clothes and I decided to use all these materials to make my product.

Then, I am going to make an A3 szie product that can fix my window. I also prepared some A3 cartridge paper to make the cardboard become white. I wanted to make a hanging whiteboard so that people can take some notes while it also a product that can block the sunlight.

This is the handmade whiteboard made from cardboard and A3 cartridge paper.

Then I cut some model board to make the outlook.

After that, I stick the handmade whiteboards and the outer box together. I place a foamboard outside the box for pinning use, then my product is done. This is a foldable whiteboard that can be hang on the glass window or just put it on the table.

The front of my product.

Back side of my product.

The whiteboards are hide inside the openable box so that it can be keep if not in use.

The foam board is covered by a clothes and it can be use to pin some notes.

Foam board is a material that can help to reduce heat transfer due to its structures and clothes have fibres that can help to reduce heat transfer as well. Just like human wearing more clothes in winter day to slow down the heat transfer of our bodies so that we can feel warmer.

Cardboards are made from dense wood fibres which add up to its insulating properties including the air pockets. It is a good insulator because it traps air in between the walls, thereby retaining the temperature; keep the space cool or warm in its original condition.

5.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, I have learnt a lot of things from this assignment. At first, I was a big challenge for me to do this assignment because I quite confuse on what are we going to do for part 2B but after some lecturer class, I can understand well on those topics and try to come out with some ideas.

In part 2A, I gain the knowledge on how to calculate heat transfer and how to identify the information of the site. I learnt about that the materials and area of the space will affect the gaining of heat transfer to that particular space.

This is really helpful for my future learning.

For part 2B, for me it is a bit harder than the first part because I need to think for a product that can help to reduce heat transfer and also some other function. I try to use the reusable materials that I can found in my house, and I come out with this idea. The process of doing this product is quite easy and I really enjoy doing this handwork. I also did some research online on the insulations of those materials that I used for my product and there is some information that bring a lot of help.

At last, after complete this assignment I have a deeper understanding about this heat transfer topic. We were highly recommended to use reusable things to make our product and I found out that actually many of the boxes and card that we throw away can help to reduce heat transfer or other types of insulation. So I think that people can try to make some eco-friendly products that can help to reduce the quantities of rubbish and take care of our environment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION Students are required to use their existing kitchen as the site. Students are to utilize and apply their knowledge of building services and apply it to an existing residential kitchen, justifying their design and layout using building science concepts and also involving material selection.

1.2 SITE INTRODUCTION The site I choose is my house kitchen, which located at the ground floor of my house.

I have lived in this house for two years since 2018. It is a L-shape kitchen and the area of the kitchen is around 150 sq ft. The kitchen was divided into two spaces, dry kitchen and wet kitchen. There is a door between dry and wet kitchen and the wet kitchen is connected with the laundry area and back door.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR KITCHEN VAC EQUIPMENTS

OPENING There are some windows at wet kitchen area, but we normally will not open it while cooking because of the smell of the alley behind. When we cook without open the window, the ventilation effect of the kitchen is not good meanwhile we need a cooker hood or a fan to help on the air circulation.

COOKER HOOD -BRAND: RINNAI -MODEL: RH-C149-SS-RM -SUCTION POWER: 1000m3/hr -POWER: 0.03kW -DESCRIPTION: The cooker hood will switch off automatically at a pre-set time, so you can proceed with your meal after cooking is done. Meanwhile, the cooker hood will continue to extract the oily fumes leaving a clean kitchen without smoke of pungent smell.

- REASON OF CHOOSING: My family cook recently in house so we need a cooker hood to remove the smoke and smell by evacuation of the air and filtration.

ADVANTAGES: A cooker hood is playing an important role in a kitchen because it can help to improve the quality of air in that specific area and provide a more comfortable atmosphere for the user. Another great benefit of a range hood is the fact that it helps remove heat from your kitchen. Whether it’s heat coming from your cooktop or steam coming off of your food, a vent hood will help stop it from hitting you in the face and make it slightly more comfortable for you. They help create a clean, comfortable environment in your kitchen. Reducing the effects of unpleasant odors and stuffiness allows you the freedom to be creative with your cooking style.

DISADVANTAGES: The main disadvantage of a range hood is the installation part. This system requires a set up that goes from the inside of kitchen to the exterior of the home and this reduces the number of locations that it can be placed, thereby making installation more particular and costly. Some of the range hood are also difficult to clean.

VENTILATION FAN -BRAND: PENASONIC -MODEL: PSN-FV20AUM -AIR VOLUME: 9m3/min -POWER: 0.012kW -DESCRIPTION: Additional to the great design are shutters which automatically open when in operation and close when the fan is turned off so that dust and pollutants from the outside do not get in. Thanks to the long life bearing and high-performance condenser, the exhaust fan now has a 60,000 hours lifetime compared to 30,000 hours which the previous models have.

-REASON OF CHOOSING: My family usually cook at home so that a ventilation fan is quite useful for us. It helps to cool the air in the kitchen and also remove the smell and odors after cooking. It is also easier to install and energy saving.

ADVANTAGES: A ventilation fan is also quite important for a kitchen because it can help to provided a clean and cooler space for user. It extracts smoke, oil, fume, heat and odour from places such as kitchen, toilet and room to the outside of the house. It is easy to install with just 4 simple steps and it won’t detract from the appearance of the surrounding. Besides having a Thermal Safety Fuse, it is also energy-saving so you continue to use it for as long as necessary without worrying about high electricity costs. This exhaust fan’s distinctively designed blades keep noise to a minimum during operation so that you can carry on with your activities without any disruption.

An advanced aerodynamic principle is applied to the all-new blade design, and as a result, any complications against airflow are minimized. It is also easy to maintain as its unique design makes it easy to dismantle and reassemble for cleaning. It also has oil receptors which makes it most suitable to be used in the kitchen. The installation of a ventilation fan is easier than range hood because it is smaller and can place anywhere on the top of wall that connected with outside.

DISADVANTAGES: If the exhaust fan is not installed properly, heat and moisture may be escaping into other areas of the home. If the unit is not insulated correctly, the air pulled from interiors can be lost within the home’s attic, which can lead to moisture issues. Poor installation can cause the exhaust fan to be noisy when operating.

WALL FAN -BRAND: DEKA -MODEL: MS16 -POWER: 0.04kW -CAPACITY(CFM): 5.8 -DESCRIPTION: Ceiling and wall mounted include. Fan with 3 blades and remove control.

-REASON OF CHOOSING: I would like to add a wall fan in wet kitchen area because it still very hot while we stay in wet kitchen although we have a ventilation fan in there.

My mother usually spends one hour in the kitchen for cooking and she always sweating after do all the cooking so add a wall fan to help to cool the air in the wet kitchen.

ADVANTAGES: A wall fan can help on cooling effect, wall fans have blades which circulate the air present in a high speed to create a cooling effect. For small and closed areas, simple cooling systems can feel stuffy and suffocating. In these areas, wall fan can create an airy environment as they are small size ad heavily effective. Wall fans are also small in size and can fit perfectly in any spaces.

DISADVANTAGES: If you will install these fans in a room, then there are fewer chances that you will get proper air in every corner. These fans work best when you want to direct air in a particular area and it won’t be able to throw air in all parts of the room.

3.2 WATER SUPPLY AND PLUMBING

SINK -BRAND: SUPERINO -TYPE: SINGLE BOWL/DOUBLE BOWLS -MATERIAL: STAINLESS-STEEL -DESCRIPTION: Anti-Condensation Undercoating and easy cleaning.

-REASON OF CHOOSING: We have a single bowl sink at dry kitchen and a double bowls sink at wet kitchen. We prefer a bigger bowl for washing dishes so that the water will not splash out easily. We also prefer double bowls sink for washing dishes so that it is more efficiency and convenient.

TAP -BRAND: SUPERINO -TYPE: SINGLE PILLAR SINK TAP/ DOUBLE SPOUT PILLAR SINK TAP -MATERIAL: STAINLESS-STEEL -FINISH: MATTE -DESCRIPTION: durable and sturdy, excellent quality! Leakage resistance, high temperature burst, corrosion resistant and rust resistant, elegant and practical. It is very easy and convenient to install.

-REASON OF CHOOSING: My family would like to choose a simple and useful sink tap that suitable for our kitchen. The stainless-steel sink tap can last longer and convenient to use.

3.2 FIRE SAFETY

TABLETOP For fire safety issue, I will choose quartz stone as the kitchen tabletop. Quartz stone is resistant to heat but I the temperature get too high it will damage the tabletop as well. But if we set the hot objects on a hot pad, it will reduce the risk of burning the countertop.

CABINET I will choose acrylic cabinet for kitchen use. I choose acrylic as the kitchen cabinet material because acrylic is high heat resistance and it provide a clean and better look for the kitchen.

4.0 INTEGRATED BUILDING SERVICES IN DRAWINGS

5.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, a good kitchen design needs to include the principle of building science and services or else it is just a kitchen without any uses. If we can know more about building science and services that apply in our surrounding, that will also help a lot on cost saving and figure out problem.

A good kitchen design also needs to provide a comfortable and useful space for user so that we need to think more on the selection of equipment, light and VAC which placed in the kitchen. For safety issue, we need to consider about the heat resistance material and the easy cleaning material that suitable for kitchen use.

At last, apply a good principle on building science and services in our kitchen, can help us to avoid a lot of problems. We need to choose the most suitable ways to design our kitchen which compatible with the building science of our house for our convenient living.
