| Course Description |
This is an introductory course that provides a basic understanding of building systems, particularly heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and acoustics. Students will examine current research and practical strategies related to HVAC, lightning and acoustical systems. The design criteria and calculations used in interior design will be introduced to the students. The course will examine the student’s interior design project through the lens of building systems integration; placing emphasis on understanding technical aspects of systems (construction types, structural, power, lighting, audio-visual, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression), and its impact on human well-being within an interior environment (thermal comfort, interior air quality, acoustic, etc.).
This lecture intends to encourage the students to understand architectural lighting in terms of technological, psychological and functional aspects in order to be able to use the knowledge in their interior design projects. Since lighting effects the way people feel and behave, by learning both scientific properties of light and lighting equipment, and the artistic designs that can be made by lighting, students will be able to enhance the architectural space perception and experience according to the needs of the users, demands of the client and/or space and the environmental factors by creating a balance between quantity and quality of light.
