Optimisation of light conditions in buildings
Vajkay, František ; Mohelníková, Jitka (advisor)
Building physics as a branch of architecture must ensure an indoor comfort of each user and inhabitant of a building object. This involves, acoustics, indoor thermal conditions and among others also daylighting and artificial lighting of buildings. Light as a particle and an electromagnetic wave, is required by the different aspects of the human organism. It allows the living beings to see, influences skin and bones, the biorhythms, etc. Therefore, it is necessary for the engineering community to predict the correct illuminance and luminance levels acting insides. The thesis deals with such issues. More precisely, it assesses the quality of design tools and methodologies, either against CIE reference cases described in CIE 171/2006 and against real measurements done over the working plane of an indoor space located in the attic of Building D of the Institute of Building Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, too. The tools tested throughout the solution of the dissertation did involve three computer programs: RADIANCE, WDLS v3.1 and WDLS v4.1, and one numerographical approach, namely the Daniljuk’s innovated methodology (sometimes even combined with the theories of BRS). In addition several software’s have had been created alongside the process assessment, just to mention the “RADIANCE Script”, “RADIANCE Data Evaluation Script” or “MuuLUX“. The later was written as a communication software allowing the connection of the KONICA-MINOLTA T10 illuminance meter to a computer with the aim of data collection while long term observation. The solution did also require the establishment of a measuring element for the determination of the light reflectance values of surfaces. The solutions, results and conclusions do describe how well did the design approaches deal while predicting the resulting awaited daylight factor levels in points over the working plane.

Luminaire position influence on measured parameters in integrating sphere.
Vlček, Pavel ; Škoda, Jan (referee) ; Motyčka, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of the position of luminaires with narrow radiation characteristics when measured in the integrating sphere. The basic light technical parameters are summarized here. Especially, luminous flux, illuminance, solid angle, luminous intesity and luminance, followed by colour temperature and general colour rendering index. This thesis also deals with the measuring instruments, at first with the basic element, which is the photoelement and then with the following instruments: the illuminance meter, the luminance meter, the spectroradiometer, the goniophotometer and the integrating sphere. The thesis is summarization of the basic information about luminaires. This theory is followed by a laboratory measurement that deals with the measurement of luminaires on a goniophotometer and in the integrating sphere. Goniophotometer measurements are important in conditions of acquire accurate luminous flux. The luminous flux from the goniophotometer is compared with the single measured values in the set positions when measured in the integrating sphere. As a result, the position of the luminaire in the integrating sphere is influenced

Design of lighting system in high school
Borůvka, Jan ; Štěpánek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Škoda, Jan (advisor)
The theoretical part is focused on lights, notions and calculations in the area of light technology, basic lightning sources and lamps. This work is also about the principle of lightning measuring. The main aim of the work is design of a new artificial lightning system in a High school agriculture in Prerov. At first, the control measuring of existing lightning was done which is mentioned in this work. From the results of control measuring is clear, that existing lighting system in classroom does not suit requirements, which are mentioned in the valid technical norm. Design of a new lightning system meets the requirements in all of the rooms in the building of school. Design of lightning system was done in two variants. The first variant uses lamps with fluorescent tube light sources. The second variant uses lamps with LED light sources. Also is here evaluated financial difficulty of possible installation and comparation of each variants with respect energetic difficulty.

Lighting design of pizzeria
Rotrekl, Matěj ; Krbal, Michal (referee) ; Škoda, Jan (advisor)
The thesis has been created and to be applied for the use of the object of Pizzeria restaurant in Moravský Písek. Within this thesis there was a literature search used focused on the lighting system design. The IT technology was used, especially the Relux and Vivaldi applications. The current condition of the lighting system in the object has been evaluated by using the manual measuring and the actual module within the Relux application. The current condition has been evaluated as truly insufficient for the kitchen related work environment. Moreover, in each room a relatively strong glare has been detected. The following step was to design a new lighting system that meets all the criteria set by Standard IEC 12464-1. The new lighting system provides visual comfort and accurate visual performance for the personnel working within this environment. The thesis also comes up with the suggestions of the dynamic lighting scenes, which have been created by using the Vivaldi application for each room. Given the parameters of the existing lighting system, the overall reconstruction of the system has been recommended. The recommended lighting system suggested in this thesis is possible to be used for such reconstruction as it meets all the parameters and criteria of the illuminance.
