The document discusses illuminance selection and recommendations. It describes how in 1979 the IESNA established nine illuminance categories from A to I based on task difficulty. For this edition, the categories have been reduced to seven and organized based on task type. The recommended illuminances increase logarithmically with task difficulty defined by contrast and size. Modifications from previous editions include providing illuminances for specific applications rather than without context, more precise task descriptions, and illuminances that represent best practice for typical applications.

This document discusses the basic types of artificial lighting, including general, ambient, task, and accent lighting. General lighting provides uniform illumination of an entire space. Ambient lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere. Task lighting provides concentrated light for focused work tasks. Accent lighting draws attention to specific objects or areas. Examples are given for different lighting fixtures that can be used for each type, such as recessed lights for general illumination, lamps for task lighting, and spotlights or wall lights for accent lighting.
The document discusses Louis Sullivan and his principle of "form follows function" in architecture. It provides background on Sullivan, describes some of his most famous buildings like the Wainwright Building and Guaranty Building, and how they demonstrated his principle. Sullivan saw that skyscrapers demanded a new aesthetic that echoed their steel frame structure and function on the interior and exterior. He is considered the father of modern American architecture for his rejection of historical ornamentation in favor of designs emphasizing structure and function.
Tanking refers to damp proofing walls retrospectively by creating a complete water-impermeable barrier. There are two main types of tanking methods: applying a damp proof membrane to the interior wall, or cementitious tanking where the wall is stripped and re-rendered with a cement mix. Both methods can be effective but also involve risks if not properly evaluated and applied. New materials are being developed that could provide a double protected system of interlocking waterproof panels with a cavity drain for mechanical water extraction to reduce risks.
Staircase: My teaching for 1st Year B.ArchitectureHILLFORT
Staircase is an amazing discovery by human. This is one of the major building elements to be learnt by the students of Architecture and interior designing in the very initial stage of their academic life. We, before starting the topic in classroom with a blackboard, try to give an overall idea about the design of staircase, it's technical terms, elements and uses. Hence, my this presentation might be useful for other colleges and students too.
Vertical Transportation Systems in Buildings by Ramesh NayakaMr. Ramesh Nayaka
This document provides information about vertical transportation in buildings, focusing on stairs and elevators. It defines stairs and their key components such as treads, risers, and handrails. It describes different types of stairs including straight, dog-legged, and spiral. Design considerations for stairs like width, headroom, and dimensional standards are covered. Common materials for stair construction like timber, stone, concrete, and their properties are discussed. Elevator components like the machine room, hoistway, cabs, and controllers are defined. The main types of elevator systems - traction and hydraulic - are outlined.
This document discusses the types and components of residential buildings. It outlines two main types of building structures - load bearing and framed. It then describes common building elements like foundations, walls, floors, roofs, and doors. Foundations include shallow and deep types. Walls can be load bearing or non-load bearing. The document provides details on types of floors, roofs, and doors used in residential construction.
Ventilation systems in buildings serve several key functions:
1. To provide healthy indoor air quality by removing odors, smoke and carbon dioxide while replenishing oxygen.
2. To maintain thermal comfort by controlling temperature and removing excess moisture.
3. To cool building structures.
Natural ventilation relies on pressure differences and temperature differences to move air through openings, while mechanical ventilation uses fans and ducts to control indoor air movement and quality. The type of ventilation used depends on factors like room size, occupancy levels, and ability to effectively ventilate without mechanical assistance.
The document discusses the planning and design considerations for staircases, including their history and symbolic meaning, common terminology, types of staircases, building codes regarding dimensions and safety features, and universal design principles to ensure accessibility. It provides details on requirements for tread and riser sizes, handrails, headroom, landings, widths, and barriers to prevent falls. The document also features examples of innovative staircase designs and details.
The document discusses different types of skylights that can be installed in buildings. It describes various skylight shapes, sizes, orientations and materials. Common skylight types include glass, dome acrylic, fixed, venting, pyramid, green, custom, barrel vault and tubular skylights. Glass and acrylic materials are often used. Proper installation is important to prevent water leakage and control moisture. Skylights allow daylight into buildings and provide opportunities for ventilation and energy savings.
Building codes govern the design and construction of buildings to ensure safety and establish standards. Codes have existed for millennia and are updated regularly to reflect advances in technology and materials. The modern building code focuses on occupancy classifications, fire prevention, structural integrity, accessibility, and other life safety issues. Architects and engineers use the building code throughout the design process to ensure their designs meet all applicable requirements.
The document provides information about elevators and escalators. It discusses the basic introduction of elevators including their purpose of efficiently moving people or goods between floors. It also discusses the different types of elevators classified according to hoist mechanism: hydraulic elevators, traction elevators, climbing elevators, and pneumatic elevators. The document further describes the design of elevators and escalators including their components. It provides classifications of elevators according to building type and location. Overall, the document presents an overview of elevators and escalators, their workings, types and design considerations.
The document discusses lifts, including their components, types, space requirements, and design considerations. Lifts are installed in multi-storey buildings to avoid fatigue from using stairs and allow for quick vertical circulation. A lift shaft extends from below the ground floor to house equipment and buffers, and a machine room located at the top of the shaft houses additional equipment. Design considerations for lifts include quantity of service, expressed as passenger handling capacity, and quality of service, expressed as waiting time.
An all-water HVAC system circulates water through terminal units in each space consisting of a coil, fan, and filter to handle heating and cooling. Return air is drawn into the unit by the fan, filtered, and passes through the coil. Heat is transferred from the space through chilled water pipes to refrigeration equipment and then rejected outdoors. The main downside is a lack of odor removal since only water, not air, circulates. An air-water system addresses this by providing a separate air system to supply fresh ventilation air to each space.
This document provides information about special types of elevators. It begins with a basic introduction to elevators and their functions. It then discusses the history of elevator development. Key developments included early screw drive systems, safety brakes to prevent falls, and the introduction of electric power. The document outlines various elevator designs and components. These include the cab, doors, hoist mechanisms, and control systems. It also discusses different types of elevators for passengers, goods, automobiles, and more. Standards and regulations for elevator design are also reviewed.
This document discusses sound insulation in buildings. It defines noise and sound insulation, and explains that sound insulation materials work to reduce transmission of sound through walls, floors, and partitions, while sound absorbers reduce reflection. General considerations for sound insulation include locating buildings away from noise sources, planning room layouts, using resilient flooring, and installing expansion joints. Common sound insulating materials are rigid materials like masonry, porous materials, and flexible porous materials like felt and mineral wool. Vertical barriers like walls and partitions can be insulated using techniques like cavity wall construction, double walls, and porous partition walls. Noise control in residential buildings involves siting away from noise, using landscaping, limiting hard surfaces, false ceilings, isol

1. ILLUMINANCE SELECTION
In 1979, the IESNA established an illuminance selection procedure, which was published in the 6th, 7th, and 8th editions of
its Lighting Handbook. The philosophy of that procedure was to enable the lighting designer to select illuminances based on a
knowledge of space and occupant characteristics as well as the task and worker characteristics.
The philosophy of that procedure has been embraced again in this edition, but the procedure has been modified and
simplified to place visual performance and therefore illuminance selection more in balance with the other important lighting
design criteria presented in this chapter and discussed throughout this edition of the IESNA Lighting Handbook. Specifically,
the recommended illuminances provided in the Design Guide are based on the Society's judgment of best practice for
"typical" applications. Every situation is unique so, naturally, typical conditions may not be appropriate for a specific
application. As a professional, the lighting designer should have a better understanding of the particular space and the needs
of the occupants and clients than what can be presented in a recommended illuminance value for a typical space.
Illuminance Recommendations
In 1979, the IESNA established nine illuminance categories, "A," the lowest set of recommended illuminances, through "I,"
the highest set. Each of the nine categories had general descriptions of the visual task, irrespective of the application.
Generally, the same approach has been employed in this edition of the IESNA Lighting Handbook to help lighting designers
establish the best task illuminance. However, four important modifications have been adopted.
1. The recommended illuminances are no longer provided without reference to a specific application. Every application
in the Design Guide has a specific recommended illuminance (horizontal, vertical, or both) representing best practice
for a typical application.
2. The nine illuminance selection categories established earlier by the IESNA have been reduced to seven categories and
organized into three sets of visual tasks (orientation and simple, common, and special). These groupings provide
additional clarity to the category descriptions (Figure 10-9).
3. Additional precision has been given to the task descriptions in each category. In the previous three editions it was
impossible for the lighting designer to unambiguously ascertain what constituted, for example, "low contrast" or
"small size." Specific ranges of contrast and size have been established for this edition (Figures 10-10 and 10-11).
4. Recommended illuminances increase roughly logarithmically with increasing task difficulty by combined changes in
task contrast and task size, as defined in Figure 10-10. These recommendations are guided by both the scientific
literature and practical experience.
