| Summary |
|---|
The subject Acoustics and Daylighting deals with the basic physical principles of light and sound and their application in the design of buildings and the assessment of the indoor environment. In the building acoustics section, students will learn about the propagation and assessment of sound (noise) in the outdoor and indoor environment of buildings in terms of their impact on human health, the acoustic properties of building structures, the basics of spatial acoustics and proposals for appropriate measures to improve acoustic conditions in buildings. In the daylighting section, students will learn about the assessment of daylighting and sunlight in buildings in accordance with applicable legislative regulations, the assessment of the impact of shading on the surrounding development and the proposals for appropriate sun protection measures.
Learning outcomes:
- the student will explain the principles of sunlight and daylighting of indoor and outdoor spaces, the principles of sound propagation in outdoor and indoor spaces,
- apply calculation methods in assessing sunlight and daylighting of buildings, in assessing the impact of noise on human health.
- analyzes lighting conditions in the interior with regard to orientation, shading and layout of buildings, acoustic properties of building structures in terms of air and impact sound insulation, basic parameters of spatial acoustics in various types of interior spaces.

After completing the course, the student is equipped with the following competencies:
- he can describe the basic principles of solar radiation and the movement of the sun across the sky, factors affecting the access of daylight to the interior of buildings, describe the basic principles of sound propagation in outdoor and indoor spaces.
- he can apply the requirements for assessing daylighting and insolation of buildings according to applicable legislative requirements, calculation procedures for determining the daylighting factor, principles of designing noise-proofing measures in outdoor environments, principles of designing building structures from the point of view of air and impact sound insulation.
- he is able to interpret the results of calculations of insolation, insolation and daylighting, evaluate the effect of shading by surrounding buildings on existing buildings, interpret the requirements of legislation and technical standards in the field of daylighting and building acoustics, interpret the effect of architectural and structural solutions on the acoustic properties of spaces.
- he can analyze lighting conditions in the interior depending on the orientation, size and shape of openings, analyze noise propagation in the outdoor space and its impacts, evaluate noise propagation in the indoor space and its impact on environmental quality.
- he is able to compare options for ensuring requirements for sunlight and daylighting in different types of buildings, evaluate the effectiveness of sun protection measures, compare different noise sources and methods of their reduction, compare acoustic properties of different structural and material solutions of building structures. |
