1.1 Natural Daylighting
Daylight Factor
𝐷𝐹 =
𝐸𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟
𝐸 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟
𝑥 100%
Where,
DF = Daylight Factor (%)
𝐸𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 = Horizontal illumination of reference point indoor (Lux)
𝐸 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 = Horizontal illumination of unobstructed point outdoor in an overcast sky condition
(Lux)
The table below shows the standards of daylight factor as set by Malaysian Standards.
Zone Daylight Factor (%) Distribution
Very bright > 6 Very large with thermal and
glare problem
Bright 3 - 6 Good
Average 1 - 3 Fair
Dark 0 - 1 Poor

The café is located on the ground floor is very near to the street as the attract people to
go inside and dine in. The space is exposed to sunlight due to the façade which is
main of glass and is not fully covered. The daylight shining into the space is sufficient
and could have save energy from artificial lighting.

Area of Openings = 75.6 m²

6.28% =
32000
𝑥 100%
𝐸𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 = 6.28 / 100 x 32000
= 20009.6 Lux
Conclusion
The space has a daylight factor of 6.28% which exceeded the standards set by
Malaysia Standards and there will be a slight thermal and glare problem. According to
MS 1525, the café should have a standard illuminance level of 200 lux, which the
space has already exceed by having an illuminance level of 2009.6 Lux. The
uncovered is due to the idea of allowing public to be able to see what happening in the
space. A sunscreen is added to the façade to reduce the sun glare problem.

The outdoor area on the second floor is for event to take place. This event space is
located on a high floor due to the level of the monorail track. By having the
happening space on the upper floor enable passer-by to view in the building and
getting hold of what is happening.

Total Floor Area = 81 m²

𝑥 100%
𝐸𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 = 6.28 / 100 x 32000
= 2422.4 Lux
Conclusion
The area has a daylight factor of 7.57% which the zone is very bright with thermal
and glare problem. The standard illuminance level for this area is 500 Lux. The
calculation for natural illumination for indoor is 2422.4 lux. The concept of being able
to view from outside causes the resulting illuminance to be higher.

1.1.3 Space 3 – Second Floor Seating Area
The seating area on second floor is exposed to sunlight since it is nearer to the façade
on the upper floor. The space is partly screened by aluminium strips preventing
overheat. By introducing daylight into the space, les energy can be used on the
artificial lighting.
Daylight Factor, DF
Total Floor Area = 143.4 m²
Daylight Factor =

6.1% =
32000
𝑥 100%
𝐸𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 = 6.1 / 100 x 32000
= 1952 Lux
Conclusion
This space has a daylight factor of 6.1% which slightly exceeded the standard
illuminance level causing the area to be too bright and has thermal and glare problem.
The natural illuminance for the interior is 1952 which is more than the standard set by
the government, 200. The problem is reduced by having sunscreen in front of the
façade to block some of the daylight.

1.2 Artificial Lighting Analysis
1.2.1 Ground Floor Café
According to MS 1525, the illuminance level of café is 200 lux. The main activities in the
café is dining and serving so the type of lighting used in this area will be the ambient lighting.

Conclusion
The café operates during evening and night time. The ambient lighting can help to create a
comfortable dining experience by achieving the standard illuminance and attract more public
to visit the place.

1.2.2 First Floor Outdoor Area (Event Place)
According to MS 1525, the illuminance level of outdoor area is 500 lux. There will only
activity happening here when there is an event. Therefore, the type of lighting used in this
area will be the ambient lighting.

Conclusion
Based on the calculation, 23 lightings is needed in this space. The number of luminaires
across is two rows but 2 x 12 does not satisfy the uniformity requirement. But an array of 3 x
8 is acceptable.

1.2.3 Second Floor Office
According to MS 1525, the illuminance level of office is 500 lux. The main activities in the
café is clerical task and typing so the type of lighting used in this area will be the task

The sound intensity level for a restaurant is 57-67 dB similar to a café. Due to the location
near the street, the sound intensity level has exceeded the requirement which is 80 dB. This is
caused by traffic that is constant on site. To reduce the sound, vegetation can be planted in
between the interior of building and the street.
