1.1 Daylighting
Natural lighting is an important factor in order to make a building more
sustainable. Daylighting Factor (DF) is used to determine whether there is sufficient
amount of natural lighting for the users of the space to carry out their activity. It is
used to measure the internal natural lighting levels as perceived on the working plane
or surface.

According to MS 1525, the Baking area has the daylight factor of 6.2%. It falls into
the very bright zone range which is >6%. This space is designed in this way in
order to let customers to look in and see the baking process. This space is also
covered by the overhangs of the first floor above.

1.1.2 Sitting Area
According to MS 1525, the Sitting area has the daylight factor of 6.3%. It falls into
the very bright zone range which is >6% and it is in the large with thermal and
glare problem. The design of this space is suppose to be an open space. It has a
green faade which allows light to enter the space and also allows people to enjoy
the space.

Plan
According to MS 1525, the Practical classroom has the daylight factor of 6.3%. It
falls into the very bright zone range which is >6% and it is in the large with
thermal and glare problem. It is in this range but the louvers are arranged in the
manner where there is sufficient, not more of less amount of light entering the
space.
Lumen method is used to determine the number of light fittings (luminaires) are
to be fixed in a space.
Room Index, RI, is a number that is used to determine the ratio of the room length,
width and height.
hm = mounting height (m), vertical distance between the working plane and
the luminaire

The following is the formula used to determine the sound pressure level:
Therefore,
Combined SPL =
=
The Sound Pressure Level for a market place is within 57 to 67 dB but the reverberation
time for the ground floor is 99 dB which has exceeded the requirement. This is caused by
the traffic light right in front of site which cause cars to stop right in front of the site.

The Sound Reduction Index is used to measure the airborne sound insulation of
a partition depends upon the amount of sound energy transmitted across the
partition. The proportion of sound energy transmitted through the partition is
measured by the transmission coefficient, T.
The formula of Transmission Loss is used to get the transmission coefficient of the
materials:
Wall
Type (a) : Concrete Wall
TL of concrete wall = 46
Wall
Counter
Type (b) : Wooden door / Wooden
TL of concrete wall = 15
Based on the calculations, 20.4 dB of noise will be reduced during the sound
transmission from the coffee counter to the seating area.

Based on the calculations, 27.2 dB of noise will be reduced during the sound
transmission from the interior of the theory classroom to the exterior and vice versa.
