- Synopsis:
-
The course expands the knowledge of daylighting obtained mainly in the compulsory subjects 124SF1, 124SF01 and 124SFA1 and in the optional subject 124XSFO. Students will become familiar with the principles and necessary conditions for measuring daylight and light-technical properties of selected building elements. Specifically, this is the measurement of illuminance in a network of control points, on a horizontal, inclined and vertical plane, measurement of the light reflection factor, pollution of the lighting hole and the like. Students can later use this knowledge in the design of the structure in terms of its reflective properties, the size of the lighting holes, the direction of the light flow, color and the like.
