The Influence of Perforated Aluminum on Lighting in the Classroom of New Media Tower Building of Multimedia Nusantara University

EasyChair Preprint 558

Abstract

The one solution for reducing solar radiation and glare in the high rise building is by using a façade or secondary skin building. New Media Tower Building at University Multimedia Nusantara in Tangerang, Indonesia is buildings that use perforated aluminum as secondary skin. Using Perforated Aluminum for reducing solar radiation and glare has an impact in reduction amount the energy for New Media Tower operation. Beside natural lighting that going through secondary skin, the building will also affect the level of lighting or powerful lighting that happens in a room. Therefore we need to know the level of natural lighting is going in a room that uses perforated aluminum. As for the purpose of this research is to do an analysis of the natural lighting and artificial lighting in the classroom so it can be known how far the level of lighting (illumination) on the classroom in the buildings that use perforated aluminum. The research method used descriptively of quantitative is a description from the primary data on the field and the basic theories associated over some literature, then perform measurements of the lighting of the classroom as the object of research where the measurement results will be adapted to Indonesian National Standard about lighting. The results explain the level of lighting New Media Tower building is still within the limits of visual comfort as big as 243,6 lux when the lights are turned off and 265,6 lux when the lights on. So by using perforated aluminum as a secondary skin building will economize operation costs in the use of electrical energy for natural lighting and artificial light.

Keyphrases: illumination, lighting, perforated aluminum, secondary skin
