BUILDING SCIENCE II
[BLD61303]
This is a continuation module from Building Science I. This module focuses on understanding of building acoustics in relation to building design and construction. The various components that will be studied here are practical measurements, sound insulation, reverberation, internal and external noises, day lighting strategies, permanent and interior & exterior supplementary artificial lighting.
At the end of the module, student are given an opportunity to apply their understanding in their architecture design projects.
Project 1: Auditorium, A Case Study on Acoustic Design
The initial project will look into the acoustic considerations that is applied in a auditorium setting. In groups of 8, this project exposes us to study and explore a selected building, our group has chosen the Connexion Conference at Nexus Bangsar, and conduct a simple research on their respective auditoriums. We are also needed to produce the layout and sections to show the sound path within the building and specify the types of acoustic materials need to be identified as well.
Final Report
The aim of this project is measure the students’ understanding towards energy efficiency on buildings by integrating day lighting into lighting design (PSALI) in their individual studio design (studio 5). Students are also required to determine the types and number of lamps to be used and to produce a lighting contour and lighting electrical ceiling layout for the selected spaces in their individual building design
Project 2: Intergration Project
