Annotation
The aim of the course is to become students acquainted with heat transfer laws, the design and use of resistive, dielectric, induction and arc electro-heat devices, thermal comfort of human being, heating of interiors and examples of particular problems of electro-heat devices design and calculations. The next part of the course acquaints students with basics of photometry, light measurement, light sources, luminaires and fundamentals of indoor and outdoor lighting.
