The course is aimed at:

In the first part of the course are studied the fundamentals of lighting (performance parameters, lighting calculus, lighting sources, lamps and luminaire, visual comfort), day and artificial lighting of roomsand workplaces, architectural and urban lighting, light pollution. Technical standards. In the second part of the course are studied the fundamentals of acoustics (sound waves, sound levels, psychoacoustics, acoustics sources, materials), transmission loss of walls, sound insulation in buildings, room acoustics and reverberation time, environmental noise. Technical standards. The lessons are integrated with simple exercises, applications of lighting and sound design of buildings, use of technical instruments (e.g. luxmeter and sound level meter) and use of modelling software. Technical visits to national laboratories of measures and producers of luminaire and acoustics materials are scheduled.

Assessment methods: Final oral exam

Period: Semester 1
