1. Building physics is split into 3 kinds which are thermal, visual, and audial. For thermal
comfort, we can utilize natural ventilation with the use of open windows and doors to
circulate air through a building. Another solution for thermal comfort using thermal
mass materials to absorb heat during the day and release it at night. This helps to keep
buildings cooler during the day and warmer at night, reducing the need for air
conditioning. Some common thermal mass materials include concrete, brick, and stone.

For the visual comfort aspect, natural light is one of the key solutions. This can be done
by designing buildings with large windows and skylights. We can utilize shades and
blinds to cover windows and openings to anticipate too much natural light. The color
of the walls, furniture, and other surfaces in a building can also affect visual comfort.
Light-colored materials reflect light and can help to reduce glare.

For audial comfort in homes, we can apply soundproofing materials. Soundproofing

materials can help to reduce noise levels and create a more peaceful environment. Some
common soundproofing materials for homes include acoustic panels, soundproof
curtains, acoustic foam, mass-loaded vinyl, and insulation materials like fiberglass or
mineral wool. These materials help reduce noise transmission and improve the overall
sound insulation of a room or house.

2. Living room thermal:

for the living room opening, there is a

3,5 x 2 M sliding window that leads
to the pool area of the house.

Calculations:
10% x (3.5 x 2) = 0,7 (SNI)
 for the family room opening, there is a
3,5 x 2 M opening that leads to a
balcony area.
Calculations:
10% x (3.5 x 2) = 0,7 (SNI)

For the master bedroom opening, there

is a 3 x 2,1 M opening.
Calculation:
10% x (3 x 2,1) = 0,63 (SNI)

3. The standard amount of lux for a bedroom is 300 lux. In this case, the size of the master
bedroom is 6m x 5,5m. Therefore, the calculation for the master bedroom is:
300 x 33m2 = 9.900 lumens.

The lighting setup in the master bedroom consists

of 4 units of 960 lumens downlight with 3260
Downlight lumens of recessed light and 2 units of 1400
ht lumens of standard ceiling lights

 The standard amount of lux for a living room is 250 lux. In this case, the size of the
living room is 6m x 5m. Therefore, the calculation for the master bedroom is:
250 x 30m2 = 7.500 lumens.

The lighting setup in the living room

consists of 6 units of 960 lumens
downlight with 1740 lumens recessed

The standard amount of lux for a family room is 200 lux. In this case, the size of the
living room is 6m x 4m. Therefore, the calculation for the master bedroom is:
250 x 24m2 = 7.200 lumens.

The lighting setup in the family room consists

of 4 units of 960 lumens downlight with 1400
lumens hanging light and 760 lumens recessed
lights.

4. For the noise pollution in the area is rain sound at around 90 dB. The WHO guidelines
for night noise recommend less than 40 dB of the annual average outside of bedrooms
to prevent adverse health effects from night noise. Meanwhile, 50dB is a safe noise
level for a living room and family room. To reduce the rain noise we can apply acoustic
ceiling tiles.

these acoustic ceiling tiles can reduce

the dB levels up to 35 dB.

For the wall treatment, we can go with

acoustic wall panels. While acoustic
panels cannot completely block out all
sound, they may help reduce the amount
of noise that travels between spaces
whether it's voices, music, or general
hubbub
