ID 3530 - Lighting Layout + Design

Credits: 3

This junior-level course introduces students to the theoretical, technical, and practical application of lighting strategies within the built environment. Students learn to specify light sources and systems based on functionality, aesthetics, and the physical and psychological relationship between humans and their environment. Emphasis is on the understanding and application of lighting criteria through the use of source calculations, lighting and reflected ceiling plans, energy efficiency strategies, and building system integration. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to determine and design appropriate lighting solutions within the context of design standards for human well-being for both residential and commercial spaces.

Prerequisites: ID 2710 - Introduction to Computer Aided Design (CAD), IDSD 2860 - Sustainable Residential Design, and ID 2530 - Building Codes + Regulations

Notes: (Formerly ID 3970)
