P1 OVERVIEW
Case Study - Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort at Modern Houses
In groups of 6, students are tasked to select 1 space each factor focusing on daylight and thermal comfort factors. Based on the identified issues and data collections, students will then propose passive design ideas to tackle and improve the condition for both daylighting and thermal comfort.
P2 OVERVIEW
Artificial Lighting Design Layout: LUMEN METHOD
In groups of 5-6, students are tasked to select indoor space of approximately 10m x 6m. Upon finalizing the information and findings, students are then required to propose at least 2 types of lighting to be implemented to the selected space, while also applying the LUMEN METHOD calculation to determine the lux standards of the room.
