Case Study
Assignment 2
Objectives
​
1. Identify passive design strategies for Daylighting
2. Analyze the effect of comfort factors in a person and in a space relating to Lighting
3. Identify architectural idea/concept, how the ambiance is created, sustainability features of this lighting sytem
4. Able to criticize design of the space in terms of thermal comfort by referring to appropriate standards such as ASHRAE, MS1525, UBBL and GBI
In groups of 6, students are to choose case study to identify the passive building design strategies. The topic will be heat/shading and daylight/artificial light. Students are encouraged to demonstrate their understanding of climate and climatic condition. This is a summative assessment.

Reflection
​
​
From this module, I have learned about how the climate and location affects the design of a building. Sun path, wind rose, psychrometric charts and bioclimatic charts are useful in designing a building in terms of size and location of shading devices and fenestrations. Furthermore, I have fully understood the term Thermal Comfort and factors affecting it.
​
From Assignment 1 (creative essay) , I gained a lot more knowledge about sustainability in buildings and the actions taken towards making a building more sustainable.
​
From Assignment 2 (case study), I have learned how to assess the lighting in a space and the application used to run lighitng analysis. On top of that, I have done researched on the materials and passive features of the Bagsvaerd Church which will be beneficial to my future projects.
