1st Law of Thermodynamic
• Energy can be change from one form into 
another, but it cannot be created or 
destroyed.

Question 1.
• 100 Watt fluorescent lamp. 
– Conversion efficiency is 20%. 
• How much heat is produced in the room by 
the lamp?
A. 20 watt
B. 80 watt
C. 100 watt
D. None of the above

Question 2.
• In your house, the ceiling fan consumes 100 watt 
electricity when it is running.
– The motor have a conversion efficiency of 50%
• How much heat is produced in the room by the 
fan?
A. 200 watt
B. 50 watt
C. 100 watt
D. 0 watt – because a ceiling fan cools a room, does 
not heat it.

1st Law of Thermodynamics 
• Energy In = Energy Out

• Has never been proven wrong in any case or 
situation!

• As a reasonably logical, sane person we have 
to place our trust in this law.

• Rule 1 – Avoid Direct Sunlight
– Too much light, too much heat
• Rule 2 – Make use of 
– Glazing Technologies, 
– External Blinds, and 
– Internal Blinds.

• Provide glazing area adequate for uniform 
daylight harvesting. 
– More glazing area will provide more heat gain 
than energy saved through daylight harvesting.

2. Set the LSG values
• Tinted: 0.5 ~ 0.85
• Low‐E Single Glazing: 1.05 ~ 1.3 
• Low‐E Double Glazing: 1.10 ~ 2.05

Where, 
ER  is the energy reduction per year (kWh/year)
OTTV1 is the computed OTTV based on option 1 (W/m²)
OTTV2 is the computed OTTV based on option 2 (W/m²)
Aw is the area of walls (inclusive of glazing areas) (m²)
Hac is the Hours of air‐conditioning per year (approximately 2700  hours)
SCOP  is the Air‐Conditioning System Coefficient of Performance 
Recommendation: 2.8 for Split Unit AC, 4.0 for Central Plant or

EE Interior Design Influence
• Daylight Harvesting
– Rooms or spaces that rarely require lighting should be 
located away from daylight spaces
– Glare prevention should be given a priority to ensure 
that daylight can be harvested comfortably
• Private office rooms
– For higher ranking staff. 
– Normally located on the façade where daylight is 
harvested. 
– Up to 50% of time, empty because attending meetings 
elsewhere.
