BUILDING SCIENCE II
MODULE OUTLINE
In this module, Students are provided an understanding of building acoustics in relation to building design and construction. They are introduced to the field through acoustic history, practical measurements, sound insulation, reverberation, and noise, internal and external to the building. Students are also given the opportunity to use lux meter and sound pressure level meters to experience illuminance and sound level. Students are exposed to day lighting strategies, permanent and supplementary artificial lighting of interior, various types of artificial light sources,) and simple calculation to determine uniform lighting for interiors. This module is also integrated to architecture design Studio 5 (ARC 60306) to enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through application
PROJECT 1 : CASE STUDY ON ACOUSTICAL DESIGN
In this project, we were divided into groups of 8 where students are required to choose a building with an auditorium to carry out studies on acoustical features and elements that aids the sound projection and distribution in the hall.

REFLECTION
Through this project, I was able to get an insight of acoustical features used in an auditorium to ensure the even distribution of sound throughout the whole space. This would be a very beneficial knowledge in the future as I was able to gain the understanding of acoustics which will open up new doors and range of job scope. The site visit to MPO auditorium was also an eye opener where the way architects imply acoustical features and at the same time achieving the aesthetic features which gives a very grand sense of space.
PROJECT 1 : CASE STUDY ON ACOUSTICAL DESIGN
In this project, it integrates with studio 5 where we were to apply lighting analysis, design and placement for 2 chosen spaces in the community library we have designed.

REFLECTION
This project was really a tense one as everything needed to be generated through Revit. Hence, everything has to be converted from sketchup to Revit and a lot of time is needed to familiarize myself with the software. All in all, I was able to learn the ways of analyzing the daylighting of an area and the implication of artificial lighting with much considerations with the PSALI integration.
