Case Study - Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort at Modern Houses
In this assignment, we are required to choose a house which is suitable based on the assingment requirement. For our chosen modern home, which could be a double storey corner lot or a double storey semi-detached house, we must come up with concepts on how to maximise daylight and thermal comfort. After brainstorming possibilities, a fieldwork is necessary for this case study, which also will involve data acquisition and observation of the designated residence. The proposals for enhancing the current condition of thermal comfort and daylight dispersion will be based on passive design strategies. Students can also be expected to use a pertinent mobile phone app for obtaining data during the fieldwork.
Assignment Responsibility
In this assignment, my group have chosen to use my house for this assignment. My responsibility in this assignment is to provide information of my house required by my group members and to also collect Lux Meter reading of the location and also the temperature of each rooms of the entire house. I had to look for the layouts, section, 3D view and many more. I also took photos of a few locations in my house for them to choose from and they chose my living room. Then me and my friend collected the data required which are Lux reading of the living room and also the temperature of the entire house.
