In this module, we are taught about passive designs and how we can design better in terms of lighting, sound, ventilation and etc.
Assignment One
In our first assignment, we are required to find a house, take the internal temperature of the house and take the lux reading of spaces in the house. Then we are required to come up with a proposal on how to better improve the passive design of the house. We are also required to do research on the climate and sun path of our selected house and show them in our presentation board.

In our second assignment, we are required to find an activity space and come up with a proposal for lighting layout on the reflected ceiling plan. We are required to calculate the amount of lights we need with the lumen method formula. We are also required to learn about the CRI and how to calculate the Room Index to find the Utilization factor and Maintenance factor.
