The Smart Lighting System in the Coworking Space's Meeting Room

Anthophila is a co-working space located in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. This co-working space is dominated by the use of black iron and wood in its furniture. The Anthophila building faces south so that at noon, the sun is quite hot when it is sunny, while the building on the 2nd floor is surrounded by the use of windows so that too much light enters. This study activity is to find the impact caused to workers by the influence of light intensity within the Anthophila co-working space area. The methodology used in this research is a case study. The data was obtained through surveys, interviews, and determining the light's brightness with the Lightmeter program's help. To the test results, the average room has an excess light capacity during the day. The research offered a design to improve the interior quality of the conference space, particularly the lighting design, through smart lighting. Using three types of smart lights installed in the room and simulated with the Dialux Evo software, the light distribution is obtained per the standard, which is 350 lux.

I. Introduction

Lighting or illumination is one element enabling workers to work on or watch objects being worked on clearly, quickly, pleasantly, and safely [1]. More than that, adequate lighting will give the impression of a good view and a refreshing environmental condition [1]. An object will be seen if it reflects light, either from the object itself or in the form of a reflection from other light sources; thus, lighting makes the object visible [1]. Some buildings do not give much thought to interior lighting, although this substantially impacts occupant health [2]. Many people experience eye fatigue due to insufficient or excessive lighting, which can interfere with the eye health of the occupants.
