Introduction
• Acoustic and lightning performance are important for the
convenient of user for that buildings.
• There are two major factor that have to be considered in
order evaluate the functional of the building itself.
• Acoustical and lightning performances of the building are
the two main factors for the evaluation
• For this project, our group has decided to choose the Tun
Dr Ismail residential musollah to do the evaluation of the
building services.
• The place is chosen because the usage of the musollah is
at maximum rate by the residence of University Tun
Hussien Onn Malaysia (UTHM) campus area.
• Tun Dr Ismail residential college is located inside the
main campus of UTHM with the capacity of 1000
residents at a time.
Background of Study
• Light intensity
• Based on this project, the anemometer (4 in meter) was
used for measuring brightness in lux, fc or cd/m².
• Due to safety concerns, the measurement of light
intensity with a lux increasing important in the
workplace.
• The definition of lux is the amount of illumination
provided when one lumen is evenly distributed over an
area of one square meter.
• Sound acoustic
• Sound level meter is a measuring instrument used to
assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure.
• Sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter,
noise meter or noise dosimeter, a Sound Level Meter
overview such as Leq sound level and meter sound level
uses a microphone to capture sound.
• To evaluate within the sound level meter and acoustic
measurement values are shown on the display of the
sound level meter.
Methodology
• Omni Power Sound Source (3.2)
• Omni Power Sound Source is used to radiate sound
evenly with a spherical distribution.
• Power Amplifier (3.3)
• That amplify electrical signals that have been adjusted to
an appropriate volume and tone sent from the mixer, to a
level that can be converted to acoustic sounds by the
speakers.
• SPL Meter (3.4)
• Measure absolute sound volume levels and it is quite
simple which is it built-in microphone and preamplifier
are connected to a readout that displays the absolute
sound level in decibels.

Sound power level

• For the analysis of sound power level analysis, we have

fixed the frequency to 1000 Hz to carry out the analysis,
the formula of average sound power level is stated as
below:
𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙
