Evaluation of lighting design on Working Space (Case Study: Indo Global Mandiri Faculty office)

Abstract

These days when a well-lit working space yet with sustainable building are significant issues in building performance. A building that designed to be an office should have enough illumination and low energy consumption. The newest constructed and finished building designated for Faculty members of Indo Global Mandiri University (UIGM) is expected to provide the optimum well-lit working space that can give a good support for accomplishing work and task given. Therefore, an evaluation on illumination level obtained from lighting design on working space for this building should been done. Evaluation is carryout by simulation tools to find out the illumination level contour, and daylight factor. Several factors will be accounted for the evaluation such as opening, arrangement and type of luminaries, and material. The method used in this evaluation is simulation software that shows the value of illumination on working level plane and validate with field measurement. The result of this evaluation will show whether lighting design on working space in the case study meets the standard illumination for working space. Optimized daylight for minimum energy consumption in artificial lighting could be the proposed recommendation.
