Assignment 1 : CASE STUDY -ASSESSING DAYLIGHT & THERMAL COMFORT AT MODERN HOUSES
in this assignment, we must select a suitable house based on the assignment requirements. We must develop concepts for maximising daylight and thermal comfort for our chosen modern home, which could be a double-storey corner lot or a double-storey semi-detached house. After brainstorming possibilities, this case study will require fieldwork, which will also include data collection and observation of the designated residence. Passive design strategies will be used to improve the current state of thermal comfort and daylight dispersion. Students may also be expected to use a relevant mobile phone app to collect data while out in the field.
Final Work
REFLECTION
Since we had to analyse a situation before making a decision, this group assignment taught me some useful problem-solving techniques. In order to clearly communicate my message, I have also learned how to communicate appropriately. Lastly, I have realised the value of teamwork, which enables us to collaborate and produce quality work.
