Course Objective
Theoretical and practical information about lighting design.
Course Content
The course provides students with fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge of lighting design. It covers the relationship between lighting design and architecture; stages of the lighting design process; conceptual lighting design and energy efficiency; reflection and transmission of light; considerations prior to lighting design; calculation of average illuminance using artificial light; light sources, lamps, and lighting fixtures; the quality of illumination; daylighting; optimum energy use in artificial lighting; and artificial lighting arrangements for spaces with different functions.
