HVAC Systems and Lighting Technologies 2. (Spring semester)


General information

Subject supevisor: Mr. József Nádas
Seminar leaders:

  1. Mr. Attila Korcsmáros (building engineering part)
  2. Dr. Antal Ürmös PhD. (lighting technology part)

Goal of the subject:
Lighting has significant role in the design of visual comfort feeling and environment. During the lectures, the elements of lighting techniques, devices, circuit assemblies and possibilities will be introduced. The students attain the fundamental conceptions and langague of lighting technique, in order to the interest of successful cooperation with other designers. Fundamental knowledge supervision with tests. The students get to know with the lighting techniques and its visual effects and with the fundamentals of the natural lighting. They make independent analysis about existent interior design of residence and a lighting plan about an imagined residence.

The main topics of the building engineering are also introduced, as well as the main requirements related to interior space and the devices, applied to building design. The students are going to face real problems and solution related to the internal design and engineering within big size commercial, office and hospitality buildings. Among engineers and architects the students are able to realistically navigate through the best solution from the conceptual stage. They are going to prepared understand design problems, clashes among the designers from different areas. They can even benefit the design process to orientate engineers to use the suitable, well fitted technology. They are going to identify basic engineering, comfort and health requirements and implement it into the internal style.

Topics in the lighting technology part:

  1. Office and museum lighting
  2. Lighting of the hospitality and trade spaces I.
  3. Lighting of the hospitality and trade spaces II.
  4. School lighting I.
  5. School lighting II.
  6. Light conducting and unique systems
  7. Semester project consultation
