Building proposed is a 8000-square-feet Korean – operated headquarters factory café established by Keith, located in the industrial area at Sunway Damansara. It is a two – storeys building with orange fencing connected with Mayekawa MyCom, renovated from industriallike warehouse space, hiding from the busy shopping malls in Petaling Jaya. With its modern and contemporary interior hailed from Korea juxtaposing with its factory raw exterior look, Bean Brothers Coffee Malaysia scores significant points and this makes them a hit for all social influencers. In the ground floor are old bricks wall in white that stacks up to towards the high ceiling and numbers of slender dark steel pillars, giving a raw and rustic feel to the environment. Bar counter in the center of the café below the void allow costumer at 1st floor to overlook barista at work whereas the wooden as well as barrel ‘table’ go around the 360 degree area to cater crowds during peak hour. Building Identification: Cuisine Café Location: Jalan PJU 3/50, Sunway Damansara Petaling Jaya Selangor Opening Hours: 9AM – 8PM

1.2.2 Site Selection One of the reason why this place is chosen is that it is an extremely spacious coffee bar that scores significant points with various photogenic corners, mainly contributed by the lighting design, the primary element in Architecture Design. In addition, it stands out from the other coffee bar due to its location and context at industrial area. With this given opportunity, we would like to evaluate this social-media-famous cafĂŠ and understand the impact of building design and material on acoustic qualities. Evaluation will be carried out to understand how the acoustic quality can be achieved in its open interior finished by various building materials such as concrete and steel frame and how it is affected by the open kitchen and bar area. 1.2.3 Technical Drawings

2.0 PRECEDENT STUDIES

2.1 Introduction It is an evaluation of lighting performance in office buildings with daylight control done by Danny H. W. Li and Joseph C. Lam. The use of daylighting along with artificial lighting control can provide a better sustainable working environment for buildings and their day to day operation. The electrical demand for buildings can be reduced drastically by setting up the proper infrastructure for these innovative systems to curb the demand for lighting. This research showcase the onsite lightning conditions present for a fully air-conditioned building in Hong Kong. Electrical consumption, indoor illuminance levels and room parameters affecting daylighting designs are recorded and analyzed. They range from various cellular offices having opposite orientations while some with and others without daylighting controls. The results indicates the possibility to save substantial energy from air conditioned office buildings in Hong Kong with the use of proper daylighting schemes. Findings are presented and design strategies are discussed accordingly.

2.2 Building and artificial lighting system The building was constructed in 1989 with a total of 47 storeys (14/F and 32/F are refuge floors) with internal dimensions of about 40m x 40m. The total floor area of the main office would be of 54000m2 The office areas were equipped with ceiling mounted recessed fluorescent lights using conventional ballasts, each consisting of one 36W tube (T8) and standard diffusers. A total of five luminaries were installed for each cellular office giving a total lighting load of 180W together with the conventional ballast load. The replacement of luminaires were rated at 36W peak per luminaire using dimmable electronic ballasts. The dimming range is from 100 to 1% of the light output and two sensor were used to control them out of the five luminaries. Two were responsible for the ones near the windows while the other for the rest of the five. They were primarily used to detect the daylighting experienced and adjust the lighting accordingly to any changes as well as occupancy of the place.

Figure 2.2: Electric lighting layout plan with dimming system for a cellular office. (Source: Li, 2001)

2.3 Methodology Measuring Equipment: Illuminance meters and a power harmonics analyser. First stage: Investigation of illuminance levels of the cellular offices due to daylight as well as electric fluorescent luminaries using conventional ballasts or dimmable electronic ballasts. Second stage: With and without daylighting control, they logged the electricity expenditure of fluorescent luminaires and daylight illuminance data for cellular offices.

2.4 Electric Lighting Performance Results shows that the room using light fittings with the dimmable electronic ballasts tended to have higher illuminance level due to the better efficacy. The difference is about 160 lx. According to the Chartered Institution of building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Code for Interior lighting, an office should have a design illuminance level of 500lx. Reasoning: Due to the decline in lamp output and the gathering of dirt on the luminaire over a certain period of time. With dimming controls, the energy consumed by the newly installed light fittings with dimmable electronic ballasts would be less than their maximum rating if the indoor luminance level was set at 500lx.

2.5 Conclusion Field measurements were carried out in an air conditioned building and indoor illuminance level of typical cellular office were recorded with and without daylight controls. The results show that the illuminance level were slightly lower than the standard recommended indoor illuminance for office environment (500lx). The new light fittings had on average 640lx of illuminance level. The room parameters affecting daylighting performance was recorded which includes window area, light transmittance, internal reflectance and total area of internal surfaces. Based on them, just below 20% and about 30% of the time the required indoor illuminance of 500lx can be provided by daylight for the north and south facing offices under and on off control. It was found that the energy savings in electric lighting were 0.3kWh/m2 per week and 15.7 kWh/m2 per year for the perimeter offices using the present daylighting scheme. The correlation between the daylight illuminance penetrated into an office and the possible electric lighting energy savings was evaluated. It was found that the percentage of energy savings in electric lighting could be up to 50% for the perimeter offices. Moreover, it is envisaged that the further electricity savings can be realized because of the reduction of heat dissipation from the artificial lighting and hence, lower cooling load. This indicates that daylighting designs can results in substantial energy savings in Hong Kong if proper daylighting schemes are incorporated.

Based on this research, we may conclude that daylighting plays a key role in the design of buildings and should not be considered lightly as it will affect the overall health of the building in the long run and will eventually determine its sustainability in which it becomes a key factor in the construction of building nowadays. Daylighting control is a must to have in modern architecture especially for tall building with large facades exposed to daylight. A huge amount of this energy should be controllably harvested to minimise cooling loads. Moreover, efficient artificial lighting that produce less heat as a by-product should be applied to achieve higher sustainability.

3.0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.1 Acoustic Measuring Equipment Equipment (a) Lux Meter

Uses To measure illuminances in the cafĂŠ at different intersections of grid lines.

(b) Measuring Tape

-

(c) Camera

-

To measure height of light source and the distance between table and light source. To find the intersections of grid on site for data recording. To record lighting condition and lighting appliances. To record materials of furniture and building components used.

3.2 Methodology Floor plan provided by the owner is adjusted to scale in AutoCad. A grid of 1.5 meter by 1.5 meter is laid on the floor plan in order to plot readings for analysis. Several visitations were organized for data collection at different period of the day such as day and night time. 3.3 Data Collection Method a) Prepare gridlines of 3m x 3m on the floor plan. b) Stand at every intersection of gridlines and hold the device at 1m and 1.5m from the ground. c) Record the possible sound source at each intersection point. d) Repeat step a to c for another period of time (peak/non-peak).

3.4 Zoning

Zone A is a seating area near to the office and has staircase accessible to second floor. It has a total area of 65m2 and 8 intersections of gridlines. Zone B is located directly in front of the side entrance, consists of a bar counter where pastry and coffee are served. The zone where one can chat with the barista at work. It has a total area of 75.4m2 and 8 intersections of gridlines. Zone C caters most number of seats mainly used for dining and usually the most crowed area during peak hour. It has a total area of 70.8m2 and consist of 8 intersections of gridlines.

Figure 3.1: Plan with zonings.

Zone D is located directly in front of the main entrance, consists a number of seats and a bar table before one approaches the bar counter. It has a total area of 72.8m2 and consist of 8 intersections of gridlines too.

4.0 ANALYSIS 4.1 Zone A

Figure 4.1: Zone A floor plan.

Figure 4.2: Light contour diagram for Zone A (day).

The lux readings obtained are results of data collected during the day during the afternoon to get optimum daylight in order to observe the influence of daylight within the building. However, at the point of data collection, artificial lighting is also switched on. It is observed that the top right area in Zone A is the darkest corner, whereas the bottom left corner registers the highest lux reading and it is hence the brightest. This is because the bottom left corner (Point A2) is exposed to natural daylight from the adjacent glass door opening.

Night (6-8 pm) 104.5 lux 75.5 lux 90 lux

Figure 4.3: Average lux reading of day and night times in Zone A.

4.1.2.2 Discussion Zone A is the rear seating area of the cafe. It is bounded by solid walls made with dark grey concrete block without any openings. However, the readings obtained during the day are still higher than readings obtained during the night despite the lack of direct permeability of natural light and low reflectance of the walls. This can be justified as Zone A is located next to Zone B, which consists of two large double volume glass doors. The adjacency of this large opening allows a deeper reach of natural light into Zone A during the day. Besides that, the higher lux value during the day can be justified by the high reflectance of material used in the zone, particularly the usage of aluminum table tops with luminaires mounted directly above them. The night time lux value is lower as daylight is no longer a factor in the illumination of Zone A, and its brightness is completely dependent on artificial illumination.

Figure 4.4: Zone A is located next to the side entrance. Hence, natural light spills into the space.

Figure 4.5: The high reflectance of the aluminum table tops reflects the light directly mounted above them, contributing to overall brightness of the zone during both day and night time.

Averaged day time lux reading collected in Zone A is 142 lux, whereas average night time lux reading is only 90 lux. Using the average day time lux value, light distribution is minimal and considered to be dark as daylight factor falls in 0-1 % range. Zone A is not bounded by walls with window openings, however, light does spill into the zone from the neighbouring window openings.

Figure 4.14: Source of artificial lighting in Zone A.

Figure 4.15: Section showing artificial light illustration.

The lux reading shown is taken during the 6-8 pm interval (night). Artificial lighting is switched on during the process of data collection and has hence been mapped into the light contour diagram without the presence of daylight. The reading range is 45-106 lux, and are evidently lower much lower than day time. Zone A is quite reliant on artificial lighting during the night. The position of lighting fixtures (Figure X) coincides with the light contour diagram, showing the intensity of lux readings gradually getting higher towards the light source.

4.2 Zone B

Figure 4.17: Zone B floor plan.

Figure 4.18: Light contour diagram of Zone B (day).

Lux readings between points A3-A4 are significantly higher as there is a pair of double volume glass doors which serves as the side entrance of the building. During the day, this huge glass opening allows a large influx of daylight, highly illuminating the left edge of Zone B. Thus, it can be mentioned that natural daylight is the main source of light in Zone B during day time. However, the interior is still dependent on artificial lighting to provide ample illumination, especially surrounding the bar area.

Figure 4.19: Average lux value for day and night time in Zone B.

4.2.2.2 Discussion Zone B is the bar counter area which is located right beside the entrance which has a full length glass door, it invites natural lighting in which lit up the entire zone during daytime. While during night time, zone B has more artificial lighting gathered at the counter bar which then explains it has a higher reading as well. Besides, the higher lux value during day time can be due to the high reflectance of the furniture material in the zone, the stainless steel table top with lighting mounted above. The night time lux value is lower as there is not daylight at night and the entire zone is fully lit up by artificial lighting.

Average day time lux reading collected in Zone B is 736 lux, whereas average night time lux reading is only 90 lux. Light distribution at zone B is relatively high. The calculation shown is 3.68% which range bright according to the table provided in MS1525. This is due to the reason of the full length glass door which allows ample daylight in lighting up the space.

4.2.4 Existing Lighting Fixtures

Figure 4.29: Light contour mapping for Zone B (night).

Figure 4.30: Sources of artificial lighting in Zone B.

Again, artificial lighting is switched on as the lux data is collected. Lux readings are particularly high around light sources surrounding the bar and illuminating the walkway beside the kitchen. Certain artificial light source provides a higher intensity (classic LED Spot MV bulb), as witnessed in the light contour diagram (three high lux value spots forming a triangle in Figure X). Since readings are taken during the night, the brightness intensity around the entrance is very low without natural daylight, and are reliant on artificial lighting to provide illumination.

4.3.2 Observation and Discussion 4.3.2.1 Observation Reading collected at zone C during daytime and night time has a wide range change of reading. Average lux reading 1.0 m 1.5 m Average lux value

Day (1-2 pm) 295 lux 336 lux 315.5 lux (≈316 lux)

Night (6-8 pm) 99.5 lux 121.5 lux 65.5 lux (≈66 lux)

Figure 4.36: Average lux value for day and night time in Zone C.

4.3.2.2 Discussion During daytime, the area nearer to the entrance is brighter as it has slight natural lighting coming in. However, further deep to the corner the reading is lower as it is remote away from the entrance and there are no openings but only artificial lighting. During night time, no natural lighting and thus it is darker and even darker at the corner. Besides, the reflectance value of the furniture material also contributes to the reading of lux value, particularly the light colour of the table top and wall.

Figure 4.37: The opening near the zone allow slight and limited day light to the zone contributing to a higher value of lux value during day time.

Figure 4.38: The zone depends fully on artificial lighting during night time and darker compared to day time.

Average day time lux reading collected in Zone C is 316 lux, whereas average night time lux reading is only 66 lux. The daylight calculation shown in Zone C is 1.58% which is considered averagely spread as it is ranged 1-3% according to the table provided in MS1525. This is due to the slight daylight which is allowed in through the entrance at the adjacent area. 4.3.4 Artificial Lighting

Figure 4.48: Section showing artificial lighting.

The curved corner of the zone (A8) has the lowest lux reading even during night time (38 lux for both 1 and 1.5 m). Zone C is the main dining area, an open space not bounded by any partitions or walls. As highlighted in Figure X, artificial light sources are arranged in a consistent manner, mounted above dining tables, hence the lux readings obtained are fairly consistent.

4.4 Zone D

Figure 4.50: Zone D floor plan.

Figure 4.51: Light contour diagram for Zone D (day).

The lower end of Zone D is highly exposed to daylight as it is the main entrance of the building. Similar to Zone B, the double volume glass doors allow a large influx of daylight into the area. The lux readings gradually decrease deeper into the zone, but rise again from the illumination of artificial lighting at the bar table and the walkway. Daylight is the main source of illumination during the day in Zone D, however, artificial lighting is still depended to provide illumination in deeper areas. The staircase on the far right is extremely dark as it is bounded by walls and completely unexposed to daylight.

4.4.2.2 Discussion Zone D is the space adjacent to the main entrance of the café. There is a drastic difference between the day and night time readings in Zone D. This is due to the fact that one of the boundaries is in fact the entrance of the building, which are pivoting glass doors, allowing permeability of natural light into the building. The large glass openings have a height of almost 2 stories, providing natural illumination into the double volume space in Zone D. The large glass entrance does play an important role in allowing the influx of natural light deep into the building, as there is an observable difference between day and night time brightness (Figure X). In a way, the lux reading in Zone D is highly reliant on the presence of daylight.

Figure 4.60: Daylight factor according to MS 1525 table.

There is a distinct difference in average lux readings for day and night time in Zone D. Average lux reading during the day amounted to 206 lux, whereas average lux reading during the night is only 57.5 lux, indicating that the window opening at the front plays an important role in permitting the entry of natural light. The daylight factor value for Zone D is 1.03 %, which is considered averagely spread as it falls in the 1-3 % range according to the MS 1525 standard. This is due to the opening at the entrance which allows a large influx of light into the building. The balcony above the entrance has been removed, hence there is no sun-shading element to prevent natural light from reaching deep into the building.

4.4.4 Artificial Lighting

Figure 4.61: Lux reading for Zone D (night).

Figure 4.62: Light contour mapping for Zone D (night)

Figure 4.63: Sources of artificial light in Zone D.

Zone D is very daylight-dependent, relying on the natural daylight as one of the main sources of illumination. Hence, this is the reason why the lower end of the zone experiences a contrasting colour change from yellow to blue (extremely high luminance to extremely low luminance) from day to night. Without daylight during night time, Zone D is heavily reliant on artificial illumination, albeit not achieving the standard light requirements. Artificial illumination is not provided amply at the dining areas; however, the walkway and bar area is fairly illuminated. The staircase on the far-right hand corner is severely lacking in illuminance, and this might be a potential hazard to cafĂŠ patrons wishing to access the upper levels.

5.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, based on the daylight factor calculation, the natural lighting in Bean Brothers ranges from average to good. The strategic location of Bean Brothers has an important contribution with regards to natural lighting, as it is located at a corner of a block, allowing natural light to spill into the premise via two strategic double volume glass openings (side and main entrance). During day time, with the aid of artificial lighting, the space appears to be relatively bright and amply illuminated. This is also partially due to the reflectance of the materials chosen, for example, the table tops of the aluminum barrels contribute high but non-glaring reflectance which further helps illuminate the space. However, during night time, the space is significantly dimmer without the primary assistance of natural daylight. Overall, the selection of light bulbs and typologies creates a comfortable and romantic ambience and atmosphere; however, the illumination provided contributes to a dimmer environment. Hence, to conclude based on thorough calculation and evaluation, Bean Brothers requires more and artificial lighting with better lighting properties to illuminate the space especially during night time, as it does not fulfill the standard requirement of MS 1525.
