Radiance Workshop, August 24-26, 2011</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">Lawrence
Berkeley National Lab is hosting the 10th International Radiance Workshop in
Berkeley, California. The annual workshop is an international gathering
of Radiance users ranging in experience from novice to expert.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">Dates:<br>
Wednesday, August 24 - Seminar day <br>
Thursday, August 25 - Workshop Day 1<br>
Friday, August 26 - Workshop Day 2</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">We are
hosting a pre-workshop seminar day on Wednesday August 24. On the seminar
day, John Mardaljevic will present a crash course on the Radiance Ambient
calculation. Additionally, Greg Ward, Jacob Jonsson, Peter
Apian-Bennewitz and Christian Kohler will present new developments in
measuring, characterizing and simulating complex fenestration systems (CFS)
using bidirectional scattering distribution functions (BSDF). New BSDF
related improvements in the Radiance code enable users to easily simulate
sunlight redirecting systems, optically complex shading systems and dynamic
facades. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">The two day
workshop (August 25-26) is comprised of Radiance user presentations. A
few presentation slots are still available, if you are interested in presenting
please email Andy McNeil (<a href="mailto:amcneil@lbl.gov" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">amcneil@lbl.gov</span></a>) with a title and description of
your presentation. No marketing presentations are permitted. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;">In addition
we will give tours of our new optical measurement laboratory which can measure
BSDF properties for shading and light redirecting systems and our window/facade
testbed facility that measures the energy and visual comfort impacts of
daylighting in perimeter office spaces.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></p>
