colleague,</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><SPAN class=573032419-06062005></SPAN><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>You are
invited to participate in an online survey on the role of daylighting in
sustainable building design practice. The survey is carried out as part of an
international effort led by the National Research Council Canada (NRC) and
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to develop a new online design
guide that will help design practitioners with an interest in daylighting and
sustainable design to effectively implement daylighting within their projects.
The survey is administered by the NRC<SPAN class=573032419-06062005> <SPAN
class=622381020-06062005> and will be opened until <STRONG><EM>July
8th 2005</EM></STRONG></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT><FONT size=+0><FONT
face=Arial size=2>. The outcome of the survey will be used to:
</FONT></FONT></P>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>understand which daylight performance indicators,
rules-of-thumb, and design tools practitioners are currently using to
integrate daylighting </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>to identify the additional information needed by
design practitioners with an interest in daylighting, beyond what is in the
current generation of design guides </FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>to propose content and format for a daylighting
design guide that addresses these needs.</FONT></LI></UL>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>We would like you to fill out the following online
questionnaire according to your daylighting design experience. Please respond to
all of the items as openly and honestly as possible. There are no right or wrong
answers; it is only your opinions that are important.</FONT></P>
