1.0 Introduction 1.1 Objectives The objectives of this project is to integrate the principles of lighting requirement into the design of suggested context, which required to build an urban infill library in Jalan Tar. This project also aims to show understanding of the artificial lighting and daylighting strategies (PSALI) in our final design, to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues and to design spaces incorporating artificial and daylighting.
1.2 Site Analysis The site context is Jalan Tar, KL. There is a real life scenario to establish the possibilities for a Community Library to connect to the urban community. The orientation of the building facades are positioning right towards the east and west facing to the sun. Therefore, it is important to take careful consideration of the lights amount to be induced to the building.

2.0 Lighting 2.1 Daylighting
Daylighting Factor is a ratio that represents the amount of illumination available indoor relative to to the illumination present outdoors at the same tie under overcast skies.
DF =
Ei (indoor illuminance at a given point) x 100% Eo (outdoor illuminance)
Where, Ei = Illuminance due to daylighting at a point on the indoor working plane Eo = The unobstructed horizontal exterior illuminance, average daylight level in Malaysia is assumed to be 20000 lux. A standard sky is assumed to give a minimum level of illuminance on the ground. Zone Very Bright Bright Average Dark
DF (%) >6 3-6 1-3 0-1
Distribution Large (including thermal and glare problem) Good Fair Poor
Table 2.1.1 shows the daylight factors and distribution (Department of standard Malaysia, 2007)
Illuminance 120,000 lux 110,000 lux 20,000 lux 1000-2000 lux 400 < 200 lux 40 <1
Example Brightest sunlight Bright sunlight Shade illuminated by entire clear blue sky, midday Typical overcast say, midday Sunrise/ sunset on clear day (ambient illuminance) Extreme of darkest storm clouds, midday Fully overcast, sunrise/sunset Extreme of darkest storm cloud, sunrise/sunset
Table 2.1.2 shows daylight intensity at different condition

Average Daylight factor In side-lit rooms, the maximum DF is near the windows and it is mainly due to the sky component. In the early stages of building design, the average daylight may be used to assess the adequacy of daylight:
Average DF =
T W A X (1-R)
where, W = area of the windows (m2) A = total area of the internal surface (m2) T = glass transmittance corrected for dirt = visible sky angle in degrees from the centre of the window R = the average reflectance of area A
2.2 PSALI Concept The method known as “Permanent Supplementary Artificial Lighting of the Interior”. Three principles: a. Utilisation of daylighting as far as practicable b. Use of electric lighting to supplement the daylight in the interior parts of the room c. Installation of the electric lighting in such a way the daylight character of the room is retained.

2.3 Artificial Lighting
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 luminaire layout in a space. It can be 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 the particular space.
N=
ExA F x UF x MF
Where, N = Number of lams required E = Illuminance level required (lux) A = Area at working plan height (m2) F = Average luminous flux from each lamp (lm) UF = Utilization factor, an allowance for light distribution of the luminaire and the room surfaces MF = Maintenance factor, an allowance for reduced light output because of deterioration and dirt
Room Index Room Index, RI, is the ratio of room plan area to half wall area between the working and luminaire planes
RI =
LxW 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 8

Average Daylight Factor W, area of the windows (m ) 3m x 1.5m = 4.5m2 A, total area of the internal surface (m2) 2 [ (3.5mx8.6m) + (3.5mx5.8m) + (5.8mx8.6m) ] =100.3m2 T, glass transmittance corrected for dirt Assumed to be 0.6 83o ď ą, visible sky angle in degrees from the centre of the window R, the average reflectance of area A 0.4 Average DF (W/A) / [(Tď ą)/(1-R)] =(4.5m2/100.3m2) x [(0.6x83o)/(1-0.4)] =3.75% 2
Indoor illuminance, Ei
(Ei/Eo) x 100% = 3.75% (Ei/200000) x 100% = 3.75% Ei = 750 lux
The library has a daylight factor of 3.75% which is considered a space has a bright natural daylighting. Besides, the indoor illuminance is 750lux which is slightly higher than MS1525 standard for library which range from 300-500lux. This might cause slight discomfort to the users. However, this issue can be resolved by adding blinds over the window to provide shading from the sunlight while maintaining a degree of comfortable light condition.

Reflected Ceiling plan
During the brightest portions of the day (when the daylight factor is high), only row C needs to be on (1 row on). When the daylight level drops (lower daylight factor), rows B can be turned on in place of row C (3 rows on). Only at night or very dark days (when the daylight factor is very low), it would be necessary to have row A and B (4 rows on). 14

Light Contour Diagram
The daylight contour on the left shows the source of natural light is only from the both end of the space which is not sufficient enough to maintain at average lighting condition for book collection and reading space. The artificial light contour diagram on the right shows the light is well distributed to all corners around the space. 18
