Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort

Assessing Daylight & Thermal Comfort

A GROUP OF SIX (6) STUDENTS ARE TASKED WITH DEVISING STRATEGIES TO OPTIMISE BOTH DAYLIGHT AND THERMAL COMFORT IN A MODERN DOUBLE STOREY CORNER LOT OR SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE. AS A PART OF THE CASE STUDY. FIELDWORK IS REQUIRED TO ACQUIRE DATA, OBSERVE AND FORMULATE IDEAS TO IMPROVE THE DAYLIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND THERMAL COMFORT OF THE PROPERTY. 
 

INVESTIGATING THE CHOSEN LOCATION





RESEARCH

FOLLOWING OUR INITIAL COLLECTIVE GATHERING, WE DECIDED TO CHOOSE MY HOUSE WHICH IS LOCATED IN CYBERJAYA: SYMPHONY HILLS. THE REASON TO THIS IS BECAUSE IT FULFILS THE CRITERIA EXCELLENTLY AND I HAVE A CERTAIN FAMILIARITY WITH THE ISSUES CONCERNING MY HOUSE WHICH IS PERTINENT TO DAYLIGHTING AND THERMAL COMFORT.

THIS RESEARCH CONTAINS TASK DELEGATIONS, THE ISSUES CONCERNING THE HOUSE RELATING TO DAYLIGHTING AND THERMAL COMFORTS, POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS AS WELL AS DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS TO SUPPORT THE INFORMATION

OVERALL

OVERALL, AS A GROUP, WE HAVE UNDERTAKEN A JOURNEY OF HIGHS AND LOWS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS PROJECT. DESPITE THE OCCASIONAL OBSTACLES THAT WE FACED. WE HAVE USED OUR COLLECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS TO COME UP WITH EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS IN ORDER TO OVERCOME EACH AND EVERY DIFFICULTY THAT WE ENCOUNTERED. THIS JOURNEY WAS AN INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US AND HAS TAUGHT US THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING TOGETHER AND RELYING ON EACH OTHER'S SKILLS, STRENGTHS AND KNOWLEDGE.

BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS A GROUP PROJECT, WE WERE TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS ENHANCED MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WHENEVER WE HAD MISUNDERSTANDINGS, WE LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE EVEN WHEN THERE WERE SLIGHT ARGUMENTS.

Reflection

WE HAVE SEPARATED TASKS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL BASED ON OUR STRENGTHS, THUS I HAVE MANAGED TO BE SELF-RELIANT AND THIS GROUP WORK HAS HELPED ME REFLECT ON MY ACTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE. TO ADD UP TO THAT, THE FEEDBACKS FROM OUR TUTOR HAD ALSO BENEFITED US IN THE LONG RUN. 

IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL HAVE TO WORK IN A GROUP. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS HELPED ME PREPARE FOR MY FUTURE CAREER AND I AM NOW ABLE TO PUT THEORIES INTO PRACTICE AS MY UNDERSTANDING ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WITHIN THE FIELD OF STUDY HAS ALSO IMPROVED.
