Synopsis: Building Science 2
Students are provided an understanding of building acoustics in relation to building design and construction. They are introduced to the field through acoustic history, practical measurements, sound insulation, reverberation, and noise, internal and external to the building. Students are also given the opportunity to use lux meter and sound pressure level meters to experience illuminance and sound level. Students are exposed to day lighting strategies, permanent and supplementary artificial lighting of interior, various types of artificial light sources, and simple calculation to determine uniform lighting for interiors This module is also integrated to architecture design studio 5 to enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through application.
Project 1: Auditorium: A Case Study on Acoustic Design
As a group, we will need to pick an auditorium and conduct a site visit. After this site visit, we were required to produce an analysis based to the acoustic design of that particular auditorium.

Project 2: Integration Project
As individuals, we were required to integrate lighting design strategy into the community library project from design studio 5. With the understanding of lighting design principles, we need to choose and incorporate the most suitable lighting system into our design.
