Description of contents: programme
This course will be mainly practical. Students will receive information about certain aspects of electrical installations. In particular, home and building automation systems and electrical installations for lighting. OBJECTIVES: - To know the principles and applications of light and vision. - To describe the different sources of light and the elements of the lightning system (lamps, ballasts, lamps, etc..). - To know the criteria for a lighting project. - To manage the tools to design a lighting installation. - To know the basic concepts regarding electric power efficiency. - To analyze the different home and building automation systems, their characteristics, their different configurations, their application areas, etc. - To set up systems for home and building automation, using the standard system European Installation Bus. - To diagnose faults in home and building automation installations. PROGRAMME: MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO LIGHTING SYSTEMS 1. Design of electrical lighting: scope and objectives. 2. Lighting: incandescent lamps and special lamps. 3. Interior lighting project. 4. Lighting control MODULE 2: DESIGN OF CONTROL SYSTEMS 5. Introduction to electrical energy efficiency and home and building automation systems. 6. Overview of the most important home and building automation systems.
Learning activities and methodology
Students should read each lesson before each class and study it immediately thereafter. They must also resolve questions and practice exercises before each practical session. Various visits will be planned to facilities or companies. The tutorials are set up via email.
