1.1 Daylighting
a) Indoor dining area
𝐷𝐹 =𝐸𝑖
𝐸𝑜 𝑋 100%
𝐷𝐹 = 300
32000 𝑋 100
= 0.94%
This space has poor daylight factor, hence the use of artificial light to enhance the space.
b) Food court
𝐷𝐹 =𝐸𝑖
𝐸𝑜 𝑋 100%
𝐷𝐹 = 1620
32000 𝑋 100
= 5.06%
This space has good daylight factor, hence the use of PSALI to control the use of artificial lightings.
c) Street view dining area
𝐷𝐹 =𝐸𝑖
𝐸𝑜 𝑋 100%
𝐷𝐹 = 2210
32000 𝑋 100
= 6.9%
This space is very bright with glare problem, strategies such as thermal insulation and curtains should be added to overcome glare problems. PSALI is also used to control the use of artificial lightings.

1.2 Artificial Lighting
a) Indoor dining area According to MS1525, the lighting level required for a dining area is 200 lux. There are
different types of lighting fixtures used for respective purposes. The lighting level is divided
accordingly to the targeted lighting level for each type of light bulb.

2.3 Sound Transmission Class
Figure above shows the sound pressure levels of common sound sources.
a) Street view dining area According to the standards table, average sound pressure level produced by a dining area
(cafeteria) is 80dB which is considered as internal noise source.
The street view dining area consist of 41.2m² of concrete bricks wall (42dB) and a total of
59.5 m² of curtain wall (33dB)
