Summary
The theoretical part of subject contains the applications of the modern lighting sources and luminaires to the lighting systems. It is focused on the new calculating methods for illuminaces, luminances and glares. There are explained the principles of the intelligent controlling of lighting systems. It is done during practical projects, which are concerned with different kinds of lighting systems and their combination with the daylight.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
After passing this subject students know how to define problems related with lighting systems projects. Students must know how to explain and describe difficult counting methods for lighting systems designing for daylight, insolation, indoor lighting, sports lighting, lighting of outdoor work places, road lighting, architectural lighting, obtrusive light and emergency light. Student is able to use special software for lighting systems computing. During the lighting systems projecting they know how to interpret technical thinking and creative attitude in new intelligent control systems solving.
