This document outlines the requirements for Project 02 of the Building Science 2 course. The project aims to integrate understanding of lighting and acoustics principles into students' final design projects from Studio 5. Students must incorporate lighting and acoustics designs on two A2 boards and an A4 report with calculations. They must identify spaces requiring artificial and daylighting and address external and internal noises. The boards and report will be graded on themes, daylighting strategies, artificial lighting designs, site analysis, noise management strategies, and calculations.

Project 02 - Integration Project
Submission date: Week 14
Marks : 30% of final marks
This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in
the context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and
the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics (where
necessary).
The objectives of this project are as follows:
• To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design.
• To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site
analysis).
• To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary).
• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to
lighting and acoustics.
• Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and
acoustics.
Each student is required to incorporate one (1) A2 board for Lighting Integrated Design and one (1)
A2 board for Acoustics Integrated Design and to be submitted in a clear folder (front/back). Within
your building design, you are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-
lighting. As for the acoustic, you are required to identify spaces to integrate your external noises
and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals,
diagrams and renderings using any environmental design analysis tools in your presentation
board(s). Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and
submitted together. All kind of proposals need to have a good justification.

2. Two (2) numbers of a ‘well composed’ A2 boards together with a clear folder each and an A4 report
on the calculations. Both the boards and report are to be submitted together. (Report covers have
to be according to the colours for the respective tutors. (Mr. Azim – green, Mr. Sivaraman – yellow,
