Abstract

Conference centers in Lagos State play a crucial role in hosting various events, emphasizing the importance of factors such as daylighting and soundproofing in enhancing user experience. This study aims to assess the strategies employed in conference centers in Lagos State, focusing on the two main case study (Case study A and B). The research problem addresses the need to enhance user satisfaction through effective daylighting and soundproofing strategies. The study's purpose is to identify and evaluate these strategies, considering their impact on user comfort and satisfaction. The study utilizes a qualitative method, primarily through observation, to analyze the daylighting and soundproofing strategies in the selected conference centers. The findings reveal varying levels of efficiency and implementation in the two case studies. While both centers incorporate key daylighting strategies such as building orientation, skylights, and external shading devices, differences exist in their effectiveness. Similarly, soundproofing measures like acoustic insulation and double glazing are observed, yet the absence of HVAC noise control systems indicates room for improvement. Integrating effective daylighting and soundproofing strategies is essential for creating comfortable and engaging conference environments. Recommendations include prioritizing the integration of these strategies in conference center design and operations, considering factors such as building orientation and the use of appropriate materials. The adoption of automatic lighting controls and HVAC noise control systems is also recommended to further enhance user satisfaction and comfort levels in conference center.
