SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE ISSUES
Jalan Ipoh is a major road in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is well-know for its foods
and performing art centre which attract tourists and students to the area. More-
ove, Jalan Ipoh is very famous for the cause of traffic jam in the morning and
afternoon due to it’s connection to Batu Caves and KL city. The noise that caused by
the traffic jam can reach up to 80dB.
The café and local history gallery is located at entrance of the building.
Although, it is located at the end side of the building but there sitting area
for the user facing directly at the roadside and getting external noises. The
traffic can produce noises up to 80dB when there is traffic jam.
According to MS 1525, the ideal reverberation time
for an Bookstore is between 0.8 – 1.2s. Based on
the standard requirement for reverberation time
for a meeting room, the specification in that
specific room has achieve the requirement.
According to MS 1525, the ideal reverbera-
tion time for a story telling room is between
0.8 – 1.2s. Based on the standard require-
ment for reverberation time for a meeting
room, the specification in that specific room
has achieve the requirement.
The transmission loss from the children
area through the wall is 43dB. This proved
that the wall is able to reduce the sound
level of 70dB to 27dB. The standard require-
ment by MS 1525 is 45 – 55 dB. Therefore, it
has achieved the requirement.
The transmission loss from the children reading area through the
wall is 45dB. This proved that the wall is able to reduce the sound
level of 70dB to 15dB. The standard requirement by MS 1525 is
30dB. Therefore, it has achieved the requirement.
The children activity area is pushed back and
has a gap which creates a buffer zone to
reduce the noise intensity. There is another
issue which the space is facing the roadside
and will cause noises. The solution to this is
to have a double skin façade which can
reduce the traffic road noises.

Jalan Ipoh is a major road in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This building ‘s main purpose is
to function as a community library that provides space that reaches illumination level
for visual comfort.
According to MS1525 that the space to best to have 3% - 6% of daylighting which is
ranged 600 Lux to 1200 Lux. Any value is lower or higher than that range is not
suitable and may cause damage to the user’s eyes.
The highlighted area shows the children activity
area which is located at first floor level. This
spaces requires enough illuminance as children
are sensitive to brightness. There is a void
spaces right next to it and is protected from
exposed to direct sunlight penetration by the
facade.
The initial design of the opening
doesn’t have enough illuminance
requirement from MS 1525 which
is 3%-6%, which the lowest 3%
is 600 Lux. Therefore, the
opening are adjusted bigger to
achieve the optimum illuminance
(670 Lux achieved) for the
space.
The diagram above shows
contour rendering that describe
the daylighting penetration into
the space (discussion node
area). It describe that there is
excessive amount of light; which
is in bright colour, enter the
space and causes glare to the
occupant.
This space is located at second
level. It is a discussion node
space that has a void spaces
right next to it for extra sunlight
penetration to enter through the
opening into the discussion node
area and is protected from
exposed to direct sunlight
penetration by the facade.
MS 1525 recommend that the space to best to have 3% - 6%
of daylighting which is ranged 600 Lux to 1200 Lux. The current
space illuminate out of 702 Lux which is more that 3% and can
cause glare to the occupants in that space. To solve this issue,
adjustable louvered façade is used to control the light penetra-
tion to the optimum needs. This adjustable louvered façade has
the ability to control the illuminance of the space based on the
outdoor weather condition.
Secondhand book store is located at the back
ground floor level. There is presence of
daylighting but is insufficient. Therefore,
artificial lighting is vital for this space.
Children story telling room is located at
second floor level. Although natural light can
be acquired but it is insufficient. Hence,
artificial lighting is vital for the space.
According to MS 1525, the minimum illumi-
nance required for room is 400 Lux.
Daylight factor calculation are calculated,
please refer to daylighting section. The space
has achieved the optimum daylight factor for its
function space, 670 Lux. However, that is to be
assumed that it has a clear sky present at that
time. Therefore, artificial lighting take place
here as well to ensure that the space has
constantly achieving the optimum daylighting.
As this space, children activity area, to make the lighting system
more effective is to install daylight sensor to the space. This
sensor detect the light intensity of the space and take action of
turning on the light when there is not enough daylight penetration.
The diagram above shows an example of daylight sensor that can
be install inside the building.
