Abstract

This study aims to find out the intensity of light in the study room of Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare. Measurements are taken in rooms that are often used by students to learn, namely classes and dormitories. The type of research used is quantitative by simulation method. Variables are tied to exposure measurement i.e. light intensity. While the variables are free, namely the arrangement of light points and the layout of the study room. Measurements were carried out over three days using a digital lux meter tool. The measurement results showed that the intensity of light in the dormitory did not meet the Indonesian National Standard for study space both night and day. During the day classrooms meet Indonesian National Standards but not at night. Although students as a space user is comfortable with the condition of light intensity in the study room and can learn according to these conditions, students still feel some complaints in the form of sore eyes, tense eyes and difficulty focusing. Thus, researchers made recommendations on the design of study rooms that can make students more comfortable learning in dormitories and classrooms so as to reduce complaints while studying. Lighting design recommendations are made in several alternatives by adding the number of lamps and changing the type of lamp using Dialux simulation. The simulation results of the study room lighting design recommendations have met the standards for use so that it can be applied to dormitories and classes at the Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare.

Abstract

Lighting is one of the important factors to recognize the environmental situation. Lighting is needed by humans, with good lighting we can visually recognize objects clearly. The suitability of lighting with recommended light standards and the arrangement of building facades in accordance with the distribution of lighting will have an impact on the visual quality of a building. Along with the development of technology and information, people's lifestyles are increasingly advanced and developing. Likewise, the function of artificial lighting, which used to only function as lighting at night, has now developed into an important part of the aesthetic forming factor of a building. So there is a need for a survey to see how big the difference in perception of the visual quality of lighting is by using floodlights on the Phinsi Tower. The survey method of data collection used quantitative and qualitative research methods. Mixed methods are divided into quantitative methods (research using questionnaires and SPSS data processing) and qualitative (respondent perception, interview and observation). Based on the results of surveys and tests conducted on 17 simulation models, different results were obtained in each test model. This explains that the use of floodlights greatly influences the visual quality of the Phinisi Tower facade. Of the 17 lighting simulation models that have been made, Model 17 has the highest average score of 5.08 and the lowest is Model 10 of 2.53 (a rating scale of 1 to 7).

Abstract

Thermal comfort is one of the fundamental aspects of indoor environmental quality and it is closely related to occupant satisfaction and energy use in buildings. The purpose of this research was to analyze the thermal conditions of the student affairs rooms (Interest & Talent Room and Student Meeting room) at second floor and the academic and education rooms (Academic Meeting room, Academic Registration room, and Head of Education and Evaluation room) at seventh floor of Hasanuddin University rectorate building. This study used a quantitative method using a survey where the researcher asked several respondents about the level of thermal comfort of the room occupants when the volume of air conditioner (AC) is increased gradually every day at 18o C, 22o C, and 27o C. In addition, measurements were conducted using HOBO from 08.00 – 17.00 to obtain data in the form of air temperature, humidity, and air velocity in the room. At the same time, respondents were asked to fill out a questionnaire asking the level of comfort felt by the room occupants at that time. The results showed that the average air temperature at 18o C is 24.62o C, humidity is 63.108% and air velocity is 0.144 m/s. At a temperature of 22o C, the average air temperature is 24.78o C, humidity is 60.684%, and the air velocity is 0.142 m/s. At a temperature of 27o C, the average air temperature is 25.97o C, humidity is 64.022%, and the air velocity is 0.127 m/s. The results showed that the respondents felt ‚cold‘ when the volume was at 18o C, they felt 'comfortable' when the volume was at 22o C, and they felt ‚neutral‘ when the volume was at 27o C. In the end, temperatures of 22o C and 27o C can be used as a reference in the use of air conditioning temperatures in the room.
