Description:
The course aims to deepen students’ understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics control in the context of medium rise and complex architecture and seeks to equip students with the ability to design and modify the building fabric through analysis and evaluation to enhance the environmental performance of designed spaces. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics. Qualitative and quantitative evaluative and analytical processes that inform such design decisions are explored in this course.
Objectives:
This module aims to further equip students on their knowledge and understanding on the importance and suitability of lighting and acoustics that would affect the function of a building and it’s intended environment. Topics includes electrical daylighting, all the way to room acoustics, which are important and beneficial for users of the space.
