Course Description

Architectural Lighting is essential to architect design. This course focuses on items as follows:

1. Fundamentals, such as lighting parameters and measurement, light propagation and light usage;

2. Knowledge about architectural daylighting, such as the definition and usage of light climate, daylight strategy.

3. Knowledge about artificial lighting, such as criterion, lighting strategy, luminaire and applicable conditions.

4. Case study of daylight and indoor illumination

Prerequisite

Achievements

TIEI referred to as the European Project TUNING, has as its goal to cultivate general ability (i.e. vocational ability and transferring ability), and professional ability.

No unified standard is available in Chinese universities concerning the students’ capability acquired through the learning process. TIEI requires that our students have solid theoretical foundation, good humanistic quality, and strong innovative and practical capability and management ability. Compared with the European project TUNING, the students’ capability developed through the curriculum studies is divided into the following five levels, according to the NAMEO system:

N: Notion. (To have a general understanding of the task, but unable to realize the task independently.)

A: Application. (To realize the task with proper guidance.)

M: Master. (To voluntarily realize the task.)

E: Expert. (To contribute to the progress of the task and to acquire transferring ability.)

O: N/A

1) Lighting fundamentals, such as lighting parameters and measurement – N

2) Knowledge about architectural daylighting – M

3) Knowledge about artificial indoor and outdoor lighting - M
