The final project for class is a group project. It should, in the most general sense, explore in-depth an issue or problem in negotiation that interests you. As a starting point, you should be able to say what your point of departure is.

Please read Chapters 1 and 2 of our textbook, Joseph Murdoch's Illuminating Engineering. How to do this

Please take on the following tasks:

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. Define desired lighting levels and any issues about light quality for a Gujarati house, on the basis of Tasks 1 and 2.
4. Use the illuminance meter to estimate reflectances for typical walls and floors, including those in your test rooms.
5. Review IES data on surface reflectances.
6. Define desired wall, floor and ceiling reflectances for upcoming daylighting models of Gujarati houses.
7. Select a Gujarati house, select modeling materials, and construct a model. Please pay attention to:
8. Accurate dimensions, with careful notes about choices when available information is inadequate.

Problem set from the class Theoretical Environmental Analysis.

Please tour the public galleries on display in the lobbies of the Broad Institute and the Koch Institute, which face one another across Main Street on the MIT campus. Then write brief notes (2–3 pages) that critically compare and contrast the approaches to exhibiting science of these two galleries.
