</FONT></FONT><FONT COLOR="#313131"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold">Summary:<BR>
</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">High-quality daylighting design has the potential to increase user satisfaction and productivity and save substantial energy. However, successfully designing daylighting into buildings in a manner that supports high ratings of visual comfort while also saving energy can be a complex and challenging process.<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#323232"> <BR>
</FONT>This workshop will allow participants to explore the interrelationship between sky, site, building aperture, and space planning through lecture and hands-on use of the </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial Italic">Daylighting Pattern Guide</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">. The interactive tool uses a combination of real-world built examples and advanced simulation to set the stage for substantial reductions in lighting power consumption and overall building energy use. <BR>
<BR>
The workshop will also include an introduction to the new daylighting design tool DIVA-for-Rhino, a plug-in for the modeling tool Rhinoceros. This hands-on introduction will allow participants to delve into additional daylighting performance parameters for other particular projects. <BR>
<BR>
The </FONT><FONT FACE="Arial Italic">Daylighting Pattern Guide</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"> was developed by New Buildings Institute, which manages Advanced Buildings with sponsor support, in partnership with the University of Idaho and the University of Washington. <BR>
