LIGHTING
&
ACOUSTIC
BUILDING SCIENCE [ARC3413]
This project aims to create students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context physical environment. It encompasses daylighting and artificial lighting systems and the strategies for internal and external noise management and room acoustics.
OBJECTIVE
• To understand the practical application and manual testing methods of various lighting and acoustic performance.
• To determine the key technical specifications of the different light sources, understand and observe
the differences in the technical properties. To determine the key technical specifications of the
different acoustic technical properties.
• To understand the concepts of colour rendering index and colour temperature and influences on
human perception of colour properties of objects.
• To understand the concepts of human perception of acoustic properties of objects.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Basic understanding in analysis and evaluation of artificial lighting and acoustic properties.
• Ability to compare the qualitative characteristics of the artificial lighting and acoustic properties and apply the understanding onto different architectural and interior space requirements based on functions.
TASK
This assignment is intended to be completed in a group of 5 students per group
• Each group is required to study Light and Acoustics properties of your respective sites for integration project.
• Luxmeter and Sound level meters are to be used to tabulate and record the light and acoustic levels in the site.
• Students are required to study the following:
- Sun path analysis of the micro site taking into consideration the site context
(trees, neighbouring structures, etc).
- Provide sufficient data of lux levels the
corresponds later to the design provision for
lighting requirement.
- Record visual observation of the object colour
appearance as perceived under influence of light
sources on site. *This shall be done in description
and digital images captured without flash.
- Measure the lighting level at the apex of the, with the lux-meter obtained for Project 1. *This is to
obtain a bench marking reference, under daylight
condition at approximately noon, on a clear-sky day. The
CCT shall approximately be 5000K.
- Tabulate the site condition that can contribute to
sound/noise: Traffic flow, types and frequency of
activities, materiality
- Provide sufficient data of sound levels that
corresponds later to the design provision for
acoustics requirement.

INTEGRATION
DESIGN STUDIO 5
​Project 2: Integration with Design Studio 5
This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics.
OBJECTIVE
• To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design.
• To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site
analysis).
• To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary).
LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting
and acoustics.
• Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.
