a) Select an appropriate type of luminaire, or luminaires, suitable for installation in the Reception/Waiting area shown on the drawing, and determine by calculation the number of luminaires required to illuminate the whole space to an appropriate illuminance ‘Lux value’ as per the design values you selected in Assignment 1, or as corrected in trimester 2 lectures. Mark up, by hand or digitally, your proposed luminaire layout relation to a typical 600 mm by 600 mm suspended ceiling grid and include the marked-up drawing as part of your assignment submission. Procedures are demonstrated in lectures.
Utilise lighting catalogues and photometric design data (provided in Blackboard and/or elsewhere) clearly illustrating the type/model of luminaire selected. List all assumptions used in the determination of luminaire type and numbers. Cite and fully reference all sources used. (Typically, 500/600 words ignoring calculations, plus images, photos, etc., together with clearly annotated manufacturer`s literature as appropriate.
b) Provide a lighting installation proposal to provide functional but also aesthetic illumination to the Reception/Waiting area in relation to the actual reception and seating areas shown on the drawing. Discuss applicable lighting design criteria as covered in lectures, including daylighting, colour quality and physical appearance, and highlight how your proposal uses some of these criteria to enhance the overall design.
Utilise lighting catalogues and design data clearly illustrating the type/model of luminaire selected. Explain why the light fittings identified have been selected, their anticipated lighting effect on surfaces, and the perception those entering the building may have as a result of your innovative proposal. You are strongly advised to support your proposal with exemplar photos that portray similarities to your own design thinking. Include brief examples as to the calculations that might be undertaken to determine your proposal’s visual effectiveness. Procedures are demonstrated in lectures.
List all assumptions used in your proposal development. Cite and fully reference all sources (Typically, 500/600 words, ignoring calculations if used, plus images, photos, etc., together with clearly annotated manufacturer’s literature as appropriate.
c) In relation to the building’s focussed and wider location maps, discuss the external environment from a noise pollution perspective and thus put forward proposals as to how noise transfer into and through the building can be minimised to meet accepted NR.
3
values as per the design values you selected in Assignment 1, or as corrected in trimester 2 lectures.
A minimum of three noise transfer minimisation proposals should be put forward including brief examples as to the calculations that might be undertaken to determine your proposals’ effectiveness. Procedures are demonstrated in lectures.
(Typically, 500/600 words ignoring any calculations, plus images, photos, etc., together with clearly annotated manufacturer`s literature as appropriate.
d) In relation to the vertical and horizontal distribution of M&E Engineering Services (heating pipework, ventilation ductwork, lighting trunking/cable tray, etc.) discuss the difficulties met by the Services Design Engineer in routing these services efficiently around the building, especially in relation to solutions that facilitate installation and access for maintenance, whilst ensuring Health and Safety measures are not compromised and interior design and aesthetics are sympathetically considered. Procedures and practice are demonstrated in lectures.
(Typically, 500/600 words ignoring any calculations, plus images, photos, etc., together with clearly annotated manufacturer`s literature as appropriate.
