THE MODULE AND THIS ASSIGNMENT BROUGHT OUT THE IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCIENCE AND SERVICES OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF A BUILDING, AND THE PURPOSE OF EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO THE ROLE OF INTERIOR DESIGN. WHICH NEEDS TO COMPLIMENT THE DESIGN AND SATISFY THE CLIENT IN TERMS OF COMFORT.
THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL ALLOW SPECIFYING THE MOST APPROPRIATE MATERIALS FOR A PROJECT WITH CONFIDENCE. LIGHTING AND VAC DESIGN FOR COMFORT WHICH IDENTIFIES THE PERFECT DESIGN FOR THE PROPERTIES AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR SPACE. WHICH WILL ASSIST DESIGNERS TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR CLIENT'S NEEDS AS WELL AS THE CAPABILITIES TO BECOME PROFESSIONAL DESIGNERS.
Due to the current weather of Malaysia, Which eliminates the cool weather and has been exposed to more radiant weather, making the environment and surrounding so hot and humid outside. The air feels so thick and sticky.
The existing AC in my room does not make the room cooler and it is hard to have a peaceful nap. Moreover, the AC is not energy efficient because the cooling effect of the AC was not functioning well and cooled the room quite slowly. The issue continued even after an AC maintenance.
I wanted to replace the existing AC to a better AC, which provides energy efficient and less maintenance, therefore the inverter air conditioner is by far the most energy efficient. It is more economical and smooth in operation than the fixed-speed air conditioner. It consumes nominal electricity due to its varying speed compressor and it is good for the environment Moreover, the inverter AC is quite expensive than non-inverter AC but it doesn't require much maintenance.
OLD A/C CALCULATION
Wattage= 865W
Energy= Power X Time.
= 865W x 6HRS
= 865W 1000
= 0 865KW
= 0 865KW x 6HRS
= 5.19KW/H
In month (assuming the month has 30 days)
= 5.19KW/H x 30
= 155.7KW/H
NEW A/C CALCULATION
Wattage= 865W
Energy= Power X Time.
= 1200W x 6HRS
= 1200W 1000 = 1 2KW x 6HRS = 7.2KW/H
= 1 2KW
In month (assuming the month has 30 days)
= 7.2KW/H x 30
= 216KW/H
DAIKIN FTV-P SERIES (NON-INVENTER) DAIKIN FTKF-B SERIES (INVENTER)I planned to not change the brand because Daikin is one of the best brands that produce valuable and maintainable products such as AC. Moreover, its suitable for Malaysian weather
Here is the comparison between old vs new products.
The brightness of the light is way too high on both sides, which causes migraine sometimes Moreover, it is not adjustable or changeable which is difficult to work on
I wanted to replace the existing lights with warm lights and a changeable or dimmable light, therefore I planned to change the lights to LED lights that are formally colorchanging. These tri color-changing LED downlight are typically comes with three separate LEDs in a single casing which are daylight, cool white, and warm light. This helps to change bright to dim colors by switching the on/off the socket.

ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM: CEILING FAN
The ceiling fan in this room is small and the air does not flow to all the corners, which means it is just directed straight down to one area. Moreover, the fan is noisy which makes it uncomfortable to sleep.
SOLUTION: CHANGE TO A NEW FAN
I intended to change to a long blade fan where the air could flow to all the corners of the room, and which makes no noise while functioning. OLD DESIGN

The power socket in my room is limited, with only one of it which makes trouble, this means its not convenient to charge multiple devices. i could use an extension wire to charge multiple devices at once but the wire could be distraction and disturbance.
Adding more power sockets would help to charge more devices with USB port as well as it will be more convenient than using an extension wire. The design will follow the new power socket design.

The balcony is located behind the master bedroom and the side window of the balcony (entrance) faces northeast (the balcony's side window is aligned with the same settlement as wall 1, where the wall has the most heat gained specifically at 4:30 pm-5:00 pm. The side balcony window usually is hot but in the evening, the sun rays enters directly into the room but with adequate of sunlight which is manageable and does not expose to too much exposure and saturation.
The idea of my prototype is to produce a detachable product that reduces the heat transferred to the room directly from the balcony side window. The product can be hung over the window to reduce the direct sunlight coming from the balcony side window entering the room.
As a design student, I wanted to be featured in a variety of materials that can provide light control and visual comfort to the user/ client and at the same time also serve the purpose of the product. Moreover, besides minimizing heat gain, I featured lighting that can be produced as a multifunctional product.
Transparent Sheet
Butter Paper
Craft Board
Black Mounting Board Kevlar Thread
Bamboo sticks
Bamboo Sticks:
The bamboo sticks are the main material/ structure of the prototype.
Re:
Bamboo is a natural fiber, which means it's an incredible heat-insulator material. Due to the anisotropic nature of its low thermal conductivity, the PLA-bamboo “ green ” composites have excellent insulation properties. Bamboo will have a small insulating factor by comparison to stone, but it still has an exemplary heat transfer and will warm the home or a particular place effectively. The constructional reason to use bamboo sticks is because of their lightweight convenience to replace/ carry and remove the product.
Craft Board:
The craft board serves as the foundation of the prototype
Re:
Lightweight and convenient to make model/prototype
Black Mounting Board:
The Black Mounting Board serves as the frame/backing board
Re:
This tackles and stands out the prototype and gives the shadow when the sunlight appears.
Kevlar Thread:
Utilized needle-sized/codes of Kevlar Threads which are 30320 (white) and 30322 (Yellow and Green). The Kevlar serves as the functional material and also serves as the decoration part of the prototype.
Re:
Kevlar thread (also called Para-Aramid) is one of the strongest and most heatresistant commercially available threads. It is about 2.5 times stronger than nylon and polyester, has minimal stretch, does not melt, and decomposes at 800F. This makes it a great choice for high-stress applications including sewing seams on heavy-duty clothing and more. The constructional reason to use this material is for the quality and characteristics of the thread and as a part of the decoration part of the prototype to provide visual comfort.
Decomposition - Kevlar begins to decompose (turn to ash) at about 800F (426C); Much higher than nylon or polyester.
Melting - Kevlar thread does not melt.
Stretch - Kevlar thread stretches about 2% before it breaks. For example, a 100foot piece of Kevlar would be 102 feet long just before it breaks.
Acids and Alkalis - Good resistance to dilute acids and bases. Degraded by strong mineral acids and to a lesser extent, by strong mineral bases.
Bleaching and Solvents - No bleach. Excellent solvent resistance.
Mildew, Aging, and Sunlight - Outstanding resistance to mildew and aging. Protracted exposure to sunlight causes deterioration. Polyester thread works just as well in some cases.
Abrasion - Good abrasion resistance.
The tertiary color yellow-green is the most vibrant shade, evoking feelings of cheeriness enthusiasm, and, nature.

The heat transfer effect of all materials can be separated into high and low transfer effects. However, the overall heat insulation effect is good. The craft board and black mounting board are not easy to transfer and also it's a convenient material to block the sunlight and heat. The heat can be transferred into the room slowly. Bamboo is a natural fiber, which means it's an incredible heat-insulator material. Due to the anisotropic nature of its low thermal conductivity, the PLA-bamboo “ green ” composites have excellent insulation properties. The property and characteristics of Kevlar thread are excellent heat insulators.
This product can hang on the window, walls, and any flat surfaces.

This building is a history because here UMNO establishments and various Malay-related congresses have been held.The Sultan of Selangor at that time granted the name Sultan Sulaiman as the name of the club.
KAMPUNG BARU popularized for:
Islamic Art and culture
Islamic Architecture
Islamic Food Culture
The hub serves as a p-hailing communal hub for riders Moreover, this place opened to all including tourists and locals Developed with several facilities. KL is known as one of the busiest cities, where the roads are always compact and especially the riders are always on the road, this means the riders are attached and adhere to their compact scheduled clock/time therefore, as an act on the project’s function and increase the outcome, it was important to add a revitalized zone, collaborative zone, and complimentary zone The project is centralized in Kampung Bharu, KL
This place is a combination of leisure and club area. This particular area was build/ redesigned for two main purposes which will be to dine, entertainment and social This area particularly opens with time limitation The business hours for this particular halal club is 11 am- 4 am. This allows public, tourists to join the club. Its open for all. There few lights installed here, LED strip lights on the columns and the geometric shapes on the columns Under the wood decking of the floor and stairs LED strip lights on the columns are to add powerful and vibrant lighting in a warmer tone brightness (light yellow) that lights up the entire space without installing any ceiling lights Because the ceiling/roof was made of glass which gave visual appealing from the exterior view The LED suit perfect for the space and for the people.
The lighting details installed in the space, The column designed with mirror and led lights, which gives the reflection of the lights to the mirror and outer corner
This area is designed for the kids and this room partially covered with tired/decked pit foam (pit foam house) This space open for all the kids and the operational hours will be 10am- 9:30pm, everyday. This space have more interesting features too. wall mounted air conditioner units are installed here to provide effective and cooling in large spaces, So the circulation of air will be all the places of the space. Because pit foam might get heat and the foam or the leather might begun to tear due to the heat of the room, As the solution of heat insulation, this particular space must be designed with air conditioner.
The space also designed with in build water fountain This covers the entire interior wall and faces the main entrance The materials used for this fountain was rock textured wall, gavel water block and added led strip lights (the main construction materials).
SPECIFICATION:
The strip lights are used at the halal club (the columns, decks, and stairs) which attached on each columns of the space, Warm white/light yellow elected as the lower luminance which creates relaxing surrounding, and does not effect the eyes. The lights are lower maintenance and cheaper installation costs due to the usage of it Does not require any other lights such as tube lights as in additional lights. Because the basic white tube lights are already installed.
