Project 1 (Group)
"Creative Approach – Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort at Modern Houses"
In this assignment, students will brainstorm ideas to improve daylighting and thermal comfort in a double-storey corner lot or semi-detached house, working in groups of five. We'll collect data, observe the space, and suggest passive design methods to boost daylight and comfort. The aim is to spot problems, assess the current situation, and propose solutions for better conditions in these types of houses. Students will then showcase their ideas on two A2 presentation boards.
ARTWORK
A2 Presentation Boards
With our group, we've opted for conducting the case study on a double-storey semi-detached house in Taman Oug, Kuala Lumpur. We then select the spaces with daylighting and thermal comfort issues and gather data at specific times to pinpoint the problems. Additionally, we gather secondary data like sun path charts and psychometric charts. Lastly, we brainstorm ideas for implementing passive design to enhance daylighting and thermal comfort in our chosen spaces, including relevant infographics and diagrams.

Reflection
TGC 1.0: Discipline Specific Knowledge
Through this assignment, I gain the ability to explain the strategies that encourage effective environmental design principles and building practices in local and global contexts. Additionally, I learned to applied the theories and knowledge about thermal comfort and daylight when conducting case study on the house.
