Evaluation scale

Pass/Fail

Objective

You are familiar with a standard which is used in Finland and elsewhere in the European Union in lighting designing. You are familiar with the basic quantities and definitions of lighting technology and, together with space-specific lighting requirements, are able to apply them in creating and analyzing lighting modeling. This course provides the skills needed to begin lighting design.
