AE 6630 - Advanced Building Illumination Design

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
In this course, students will observe and practice lighting design techniques used in a variety of applications. Each student will select a lighting application for investigation, write a paper and present to the class on that topic. A lighting design problem will be posed for each student to provide a unique solution. Design considerations will include integration with architecture, daylighting, and controls. (prereq: AE 5404 or equivalent)
