This document provides calculations and analysis of lighting and acoustics for spaces in a proposed community library. It includes:
1) Daylight factor calculations for a discussion area (4.467%) and study area (2.968%) to determine natural illumination levels.
2) Lumen method calculations to determine the number of artificial lights needed in library spaces to meet illumination standards, including 58 lights for the main collection area and 23 lights for the AV room.
3) PSALI calculations for a meeting room showing it can be controlled by two sets of switches, with one set on all the time and the other only used when needed.
In this project, we are required to group in six and choose a house of 3 storey high to do structural framing. We have to determine the positioning of beams and columns in the house. Then from the group of 6, we are divided into 2 persons in a group to make the extension to the house of which the extension could not be more that one third of the house. After this, we are required to calculate the load acting on the beams and columns based on the framing we have designed for the extension.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This project is an integration with the Architectural Design Studio 5 that requires one
to understand the lighting and acoustics performances inside the spaces.
The project involved is an urban infill community library, located at the Jalan Abdul
Samad, in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. Full glaze curtain wall and vertical aluminium louvres
are largely used for the facades so as to invite as much daylighting as possible while
providing sunshading to prevent to overheating and glare problems.
Besides, the external noise sources as well as the internal noise source are also
determined so as to select the proper building materials and arrange the spaces based
on their sound pressure level to ensure good acoustics performances in the building.

2.1.1 Discussion Area
The selected area is an open area discussion area, located at the 2nd floor, facing the front
façade on the southern east direction, as seen in the floor plan below. The façade is in full
height curtain wall to ensure a good lighting condition as well as vertical louvers on the
outside for sunshading purposes. Therefore, it allows view to the outside at the same time
able to capture natural day lighting for a comfortable discussion environment for the
people.

2.3 PSALI – Permanent Supplementary Artificial Lighting of Interiors
(Office)
Permanent Supplementary Artificial Lighting (PSALI) is essentially artificial lighting lit by
window on one side. PSALI compensates for the fall in illuminance as the distance from the
window increases and daylighting is not enough is lighting up the area. Hence, there are two
sets of switches, whereby one set is lighted up most of the time whereas the other set is
only switched on during the night as there are adequate amount daylighting.
According to MS1525, the minimum lighting level required for an office is 300 lux. Type of
luminaire used as showed below:

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the meeting room is controlled by 2 set of switches. One set of the switches
are opened all the time for sufficient of lighting inside the room, whereas for the other set
of the switches, it can be turned off during daytime due to adequate natural daylighting
from one side of the window. Hence, this could save the amount of electrical energy. The
total number of light installed is 30 lamps for the use of both daytime and nightime.

Use the formula, L = 10log10 (I/Io),
80 = 10log10 (I/ 1x10-12)
I = (108) (1x10-12)
= 1x 10-4
ii) Lowest reading: 63dB
Use the formula, L = 10log10 (I/Io),
63 = 10log10 (I/ 1x10-12)
I = (106.3) (1x10-12)
= 2x 10-6
Total Intensities, I = (1x 10-4) + (2x 10-6)
= 1.02x 10-4
Using the formula Combined SPL

Combined SPL = 10log10 [(1.02x 10-4) ÷ (1x10-12)]
= 80.08 dB

3.3.2 Back Alley , (Non-peak hour)
i) Highest reading: 57dB
Use the formula, L = 10log10 (I/Io),
57 = 10log10 (I/ 1x10-12)
I = (105.7) (1x10-12)
= 5x10-7
ii) Lowest reading: 50dB
Use the formula, L = 10log10 (I/Io),
50 = 10log10 (I/ 1x10-12)
I = (105) (1x10-12)
= 1x10-7
Total Intensities, I = (5x10-7) + (1x10-7)
= 6x 10-7
Using the formula Combined SPL
= 10log10 (p2/po
2), where po = 1x10-12
Combined SPL = 10log10 [(6x 10-7) ÷ (1x10-12)]
= 57.78dB
As a result, the average sound pressure level during Peak Hour and Non-peak Hour are
80.08dB and 57.78dB at front elevation and rear elevation respectively.
