colour modelling and colour rendering. Light sources and control systems. Luminaires. The objectives of good lighting.
Examples of design and calculation; isotropic source, the lighting of a dressing table, a bookcase, the aisle of a church, a hotel
room, an office, a library, a restaurant, a blackboard, a painting protected by a glass plate, of a shelf in a shop. Integration of
artificial and natural light. The lighting of the exterior: Street lighting purposes. Nighttime accidents and economic conditions of
street lighting. Urban lighting. The Municipal Regulator Plan of Light. Visibility at night on roads. UNI norm. The determination
of reference categories, categories of a project and those are operating for the different types of roads. Arrangement of light
points. System planning. Preliminary design (illuminance). Punctual calculation of illuminance and luminance. The urban
lighting of monuments, parks and gardens. Ambient lighting. Luminaires and light source types for different applications.
