The most common issuesfaced inmodern housesnowadays are lack ofallowance for daylight whereby the need of artificial lighting is a necessity at all spaces of a house. Additionally, the state of thermal comfort can only be felt comfortwith the supportof mechanical devices such as fans and air conditioners. Due to this scenario,users may need to pay more on theirutilities.In a group of FIVE (5) students need to formulate ideas on how to maximise daylight and thermal comfort fortheirchosen modern housethat can be either a double storey cornerlotor a double storey semi-detachedhouse.Thefieldwork of this case study will include data collection, observation,and ideas to improve the current condition of the daylight distribution and thermal comfort.

Having an adequate amount of illuminance at a particular space of a building will improve work productivity and provide visual comfort to the end users. However, there are spaces in buildings that may have enough illuminance due to insufficient number of lamps or the general lighting available at theroom (space). The aim of this assignment to provide the students om the understanding of the principle of artificial lighting design by implementing a Lumen Method calculation.
Reflection
This is by far one of my favorite modules in my entire 1.5st semester. The first project taught me how to come out with a new solutions about the room of an house that we choose. The second project taught me a lot on how to produce a good lighting for specific room and purpose, in addition this module also taught me a lot on how to work as a team.
