The purpose of the course is to provide specialized knowledge that will enable the highlighting of monuments and historical buildings with minimal interventions in their structure.

The aim of the course is to present the design principles of electro-mechanical installations so that the problems of their inclusion in monuments and buildings are understood.

The following subjects will be developed in the courses:

Introduction. Classification of historical buildings and monuments according to their electromechanical equipment.
Cooperation of Electricians - Mechanical Engineers with other specialties.
Design principles of mechanical installations such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning, etc.
Principles of designing electrical installations such as lighting, telephones, intercom etc.
Basic concepts of photometry and artificial lighting.
Exterior lighting for highlighting buildings.
Interior lighting of special use rooms (museums, churches, etc.)
Space needs and spatial planning of the facilities.
Examples from practice
General conclusions.
