Lighting , Daylighting and integrated design Lab

The lighting lab covers visual needs, glare, lighting metrics and design considerations, light sources, luminaire selection, electric lighting and daylighting strategies, and lighting control systems. It combines concepts and best practices, shading techniques for lighting, physical measurement and data comprehension. Softwares like DiaLux, Radiance and Daysim are used for the lighting course. Towards the end, this lab also integrates the learning of the three semesters to explore energy code interpretation and whole building simulation.
