Please read Chapters 1 and 2 of our textbook, Joseph Murdoch's Illuminating Engineering. How to do this
Please take on the following tasks:
Illuminance measurements. Use an illuminance meter to record light levels in residential spaces, including those used for food preparation, reading, and such detailed manual labor as sewing or electronics repair (i.e., a home shop or work room).
Review IES illuminance criteria (from Murdoch or, better, the IES Handbooks which are in the lab and in the Rotch reference collection) for activities you think appropriate for a Gujarati house.
Define desired lighting levels and any issues about light quality for a Gujarati house, on the basis of Tasks 1 and 2.
Use the illuminance meter to estimate reflectances for typical walls and floors, including those in your test rooms.
Review IES data on surface reflectances.
Define desired wall, floor and ceiling reflectances for upcoming daylighting models of Gujarati houses.
Select a Gujarati house, select modeling materials, and construct a model. Please pay attention to:
Accurate dimensions, with careful notes about choices when available information is inadequate.
The first two writing assignments for this course are to select two of the books we are reading in class and complete a 3–4 page review of them. If there is another book you wish to review, this is fine as long as you seek permission in advance. Such a review should accomplish three things:
Build-It modules are hands-on opportunities to learn how to use a variety hand tools, machine tools and prototyping equipment in project-based training sessions. You choose which module to take based on your interest in the project / skills taught, and are encouraged to coordinate with your teams to gain a variety of experiences that you can then share with each other.
