Topics include light and lighting in relation to standards and recommendations, calculation methods for use in design of daylight and electrical lighting systems, colour and colour rendering of light sources, and photometry. Furthermore, connections are made with visual perception and physiology of the eye. The most important qualities of a lighting system, such as luminance ratios, avoiding discomfort and disability glare related to a task are discussed.
Learning Objectives
A fundamental knowledge on lighting technology, daylighting, photometry and lighting requirements.
