Course Description
Fundamentals of day lighting will be introduced and their relevance to design decisions emphasized in this course along with the following topics: the benefits and availability of daylight, the sun’s course, solar radiation and protection, photometry, the physics of light propagation, visual and color perception, day lighting metrics, visual and thermal comfort, electric lighting and primary day lighting strategies. More advanced lighting design topics will also be presented and practiced through a design project, class lectures and homework assignments, such as advanced lighting design strategies (innovative glazing and shading technologies, advanced control), as well as design and assessment tools for lighting management (experimental approaches, computer-based design tools).
