Level:	MSc
Duration:	One semester
Contact Hours:	3 hours per week
Prerequisite:	None
Description:	This course covers important design concepts, principles and technical calculations of lighting engineering and systems for buildings and facilities. The basic principles of light and colour, the mechanism of human eye and vision, and the components of artificial light sources and luminaires will be studied. The advanced practical skills for indoor and outdoor lighting design and calculations, daylighting design and lighting energy management will be explained. The principle of colorimetry and the calculations of photometric data for lighting design will be introduced. The lighting design considerations on human perception, daylight factor, glare control, colour rendering, energy efficiency, safety and emergency will be discussed.
Assessment Methods:	Examination (60%), Continuous Assessment (40%)
