Abstract

Lighting play a significant role in the daily activities of humans. In buildings, lighting conditions determine energy consumption, and a lack of natural lighting can increase artificial lighting energy consumption. Students frequently use lecture halls for lectures, seminars, and discussions. In the meantime, laboratories are where students conduct their experiments. Despite advances in lighting technology, these lamps remain unchanged. Students in classrooms with good performance of lighting rather than bad lighting perform better on tests and exhibit a higher level of concentration. Other than that, low illuminance has been associated with poor posture, slower readings, and long -term visual impairment. Excessive lighting variations can also be a problem studies have shown that this reduces visual performance, causing discomfort and hyperactivity. Due to this problems, the purpose and the main goal of this project is to ensure the lighting performance of lecture rooms and laboratories in FTKEE, UTeM by using lighting software which is DIALux Evo software meet the requirement that have been state in Malaysian Standard 1525(MS 1525). Current luminance for BK 34 is lower than simulation same goes to Lab Pneumatic. But the result for both measurements still meets the requirement of Malaysian Standard (MS 1525). By using this medium, it can simulate the illuminance in building by designing the model of room and calculate the specific illuminance radiated to the work plane where people eyes focused when doing work. Thus, by applying this project, it is hoped that will help to make people know about the appropriate lighting value for a building and place.
