Introduction

In this assignment, we need to identify and list down the system that related to water supply,
sanitary, drainage and lighting in the building. All those system have its particular function.
For example, water supply system have the function in transmission, treatment, storage, and
distribution of water for homes, commercial establishments, industry, and irrigation, as well as for
such public needs as firefighting and street flushing. Lighting or illumination is the deliberate
use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect. We also can learn how to conserve
electricity or water in the building. For example, Keep the door closed. Ever time you open it
the temperature drop about 20 degrees. Use oven heat for plate warming. All are the ways
to conserve the electicity. To enhance the quality of our assignment, we go to the place that
we choose to take some photo. We also measure the dimension of the floor plan for one of
the main area in this building with measuring tape. These information will help us in
calculation of the average illuminance of the area. Illuminance is the amount of the luminous
flux per unit area. We also need to calculate the Sound Reduction Index(SRI) of the wall that
facing external environment. Sound Insulation is the ability of building elements or structures
to reduce sound transmission. The Sound Reduction Index is expressed in decibels (dB). It is
the weighted sound reduction index for a partition or single component only. Full working of
calculation is shown clearly by refer to different kind of sources. After the calculation, we do
our conclusion. (Egel, 2013) (Nathonson, 2015)
