This document contains a lighting and acoustic proposal for a building design project. It includes calculations for daylight factor and illuminance levels to determine natural and artificial lighting solutions for various spaces. It also contains calculations for external sound pressure levels, reverberation time, and sound reduction index to determine appropriate acoustic treatments for spaces like an audio room, ICT room, cafe, and meeting room. The calculations show that some design adjustments are needed to meet lighting and acoustic standards.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
4. Formula : Daylight Factor (DF) = (Ei / Eo) x 100%
Area of Space (m2) 200
Area of Curtain Wall (m2) (11x5)+(8.8x5)+(17x5)+(2.5x5) =137.02
Daylight Factor (%) (137.02 / 200) x 100%
= 68.51 % x 0.1
= 6.8 %
According to the standard requirement of daylight factor needed by reception of a
library, the 6.8 % result of daylight exceeds the standard general building reception of
2%. Hence, the curtain wall is layered by a steel perforated facade with growing
creeper plants to prevent glare discomforts of library users. However, a fair amount of
opening is designed to let natural light in to light up some reading spaces that require
critical amount of light.
Formula EEi = (DF x Eo) /100%
Given, Eo (unobstructed sky of Malaysia) 32000
EEi = (DF x Eo) / 100%
= (6.8 x 32000) / 100%
= 2176 lux
The standard required illuminance level for reception is 300 lux, which proves that the
calculation result of curtain wall design is over-sized and receives too much daylight.
Hence, some solutions are needed to overcome the issue mentioned.
6. Area of Space (m2) 69.6
Area of Curtain Wall (m2) 5.8 x 4 = 23.2
Daylight Factor (%) (23.2 / 69.6) x 100%
= 33.33 % x 0.1
= 3.33 %
The calculation result shows that the reading area receives sufficient daylight as it
surpassed the standard of 3%.
Formula EEi = (DF x Eo) /100%
Given, Eo (unobstructed sky of Malaysia) 32000
EEi = (DF x Eo) / 100%
= (3.33 x 32000) / 100%
= 1065.6 lux
The standard required illuminance level for reception is 300 lux, which proves that the
calculation result of curtain wall design is over-sized and receives too much daylight.
Hence, some solutions are needed to overcome the issue mentioned.

In comparison of the reverberation time result and its standard requirement, it shows
that the material used for the audio room does not meet the requirement of 0.4 to 0.6
seconds. The actual lower result of 0.24 seconds should be improved by increasing
the reverberation time through reducing some acoustical elements to achieve better
acoustics.

The calculation result of ICT room reverberation time does not meet the requirement of
the standard of 0.5 - 0.9 seconds. Hence, some of the absorption materials should be
removed in order to achieve human acoustical comfort.
20. 3.3 SOUND REDUCTION INDEX
Sound transmits from cafe to reception and meeting room due to the noisier crowd in
the cafe. Hence, good noise isolation material should be used for cafe and meeting
room to prevent noise dispersion.

Tconcrete = 1 x 10-4
SRIoverall = 10log10 (1/TL)
= 10log10 (1/ 1 x 10-4)
= 40 dB
22. The average transmission loss of materials used for the cafe and meeting room shows
the degree of noise that can transmit and be blocked within a room.
Cafe (70 dB) - Tav of cafe (35 dB) = 35 dB (Reception)
Cafe (70 dB) - Tav of meeting room (40 dB) = 30 dB (Meeting room)
This proves that plywood panel wall used in cafe can filter 35dB of noise traveling out
from the cafe whereas the concrete block wall used in the meeting can absorb 40dB of
noise transmitting to the meeting room.
