0 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
The site of the community library design proposal is located at Medan Pasar, Kuala
Lumpur. Located at the centre of Kuala Lumpur, the site is locate at an infill between
shophouses that facing the open plaza and backdrop with a 20 stories height go office
tower. The front facade receive the western light during the afternoon and daylight is been
shaded by the neighbour building. Coordinates are 3.147472 latitude and 101.696131

3.0 DAYLIGHTING STRATEGIES
3.1 REUIRED FORMULA
In the early stages of building design, average daylight factor may be used to assess the
adequacy of daylight. the values of these quantities are determined from the given data
and W, T and R are corrected by using factors given in the BS Daylight Code and other
publications.

3.2.3 CONCLUSION
The main collection has a distribution of day light factor of 0.87%, while having low
illumination levels than recommended by MS1525 due the cast shadow from the
neighbour building. Artificial Lighting is needed to be install in order to fulfil the Malaysia
Standard due to requirement of high illumination activities happen in this space.

Where,
The lumen method, (also celled zonal cavity method , is a simplified method to calculate
the light level in a room. According to this method, the light fittings (luminaries) are to be
mounted overhead in a regular pattern. The luminous flux output (lumens) of each lamp
need s to be known as well as details of the laminates and the room surfaces.

The distance of each fixture is installed are 2 -2.5m part from each other. 9 light fittings
arranged in a grid configuration that controlled by 2, 2 gang switched to illuminate the
main collection space to achieve 150 lux of standard illumination according to MS1525
for library space.
Based on the lumen method calculation, light fixtures of Row 2 are turned on during the
daytime (0900-1500) via switch 2, when natural sunlight penetrated from the front facade
into the space.
In the evening (1500-1900), the whole light is illuminate the whole space due to lack
sufficient lights.

Each fixture is installed 2- 2.5m apart form each other. 26 light fittings controlled by 3, 2-
gang switches to illuminate the workshop space to achieve 300 lux of standard
illumination according to MS 1525 for workshop. This space require to generally
illuminate well due the back facade is only relied on the reflected sunlight from the
neighbour building.
Based on lumen calculation, light fixture of row 1,2 and row 4,5 are turned on in the
morning (0900-1500), when natural sunlight is low in the space. In evening (1500-1900)
whole illuminated to allow sufficient illumination in the space for workshop activities.
