ARE 5151 - Design of Lighting Systems II3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course covers advanced design of building illumination systems. Students will look at lighting design techniques for buildings such as office lighting, hospitality lighting, museum lighting, lighting for senior and health care environments, and daylighting strategies. In addition, 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: ARE 3151) (quarter system prereq: AE 3622)
