ASSIGNMENT 01: LIGTHING AND VAC DESIGN FOR COMFORT
Choose a room/space where you most frequently use for work purposes as your site.
Map out and record down all main electrical fixtures namely, lighting and ventilation.
Draw out the electrical wiring (make informed assumptions, where not visible, based on your knowledge attained from lectures) to the switches.
​
Using yourself as the Client, observe what are the discomfort/problems with the existing lighting and ventilation and re-design the room within the scope of lighting and VAC equipment. Your justifications for change may be for enhanced comfort, eco-friendliness or aesthetics. Just ensure each change is justified.

​
Students are to use their current home or a convenient residential building as their site.

Conclude and briefly reflect on this section by identifying the wall panel that is most critical/highest heat gain/most utilised space for Part 2b.
All findings of this section shall be recorded and compiled into one report with Part 2b.
