UEBA1823 – Building Science I

Assignment Brief (June 2022)


______________________________________________________________________________________

Objectives:

1. Identify environmental issues in relation to energy consumption in related design project.


2. Apply the aspect of design principles contributing to human comfort and energy
conservation in related project.
3. Ability to identify principles of sustainable design and application toward the assigned
project.

Assignment:

By forming a group consists of FIVE (5) or SIX (6) members. Your group is required to complete
the following assignment:

Part 1 – Research and Case Study (Week 7)


Each team members have to select a topic listed below and refer to a green and sustainable building
as a case study (You are encouraged to research through library resources or online journal provided
by UTAR library). Your group is expected to analyse the chosen buildings in following area.

1) Heat Transfer – shading, thermal insulation and protection.

2) Pollution – waste, noise and air pollution and solution.

3) Passive design – natural lighting and ventilation.

4) Energy efficiency – innovation in energy efficiency design.

5) Humidity and condensation – protection from moisture, rain and humidity.

6) Resources, recycling and conservation – LCA, material efficiency, waste

Part 2 – Application to existing building (Week 13)
Your group must choose a shopping mall or commercial building (preferable nearby your home/
campus).

1. You are expected to compile all your data and statistic pertaining the chosen project and at
the end of your research, present it to class in power point presentation with site model,
sectional model and in A4 size report hardcopy format.

Observation& Analysis
With all the collected data and information, your group must analyze the situation of your chosen
building according to the guideline listed below:

1. Identify the protection from sun, against rain, against wind and noise.
2. Analyze the existing designs features that capture the natural lighting into space.
3. Analyze the existing design that allows natural ventilation and cooling of space either by
design features or materials used.
4. Opportunity of changing the building to be more energy efficiency or more sustainable.
5. With learning outcome through case study on part 1, proposed green design features or
elements that able convert the building into green and sustainable design.
