<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you and/or your associates might be interested in a three day program on ‘Daylighting Buildings’ that we will once again be offering on June 20-22, 2012 through Harvard’s Executive Education Program. Course participants will acquire
a range of daylighting design analysis techniques ranging from rules of thumb to state-of-the-art computer simulations and high dynamic range photography for glare analysis. The main simulation programs used will be Rhino combined with our
<a href="http://diva4rhino.com/">DIVA 2.0 plug-in</a> that exports Rhino scenes into Radiance, Daysim, Evalglare and EnergyPlus. Simulation outputs include:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The physical assumptions underlying these simulation programs and performance metrics will be discussed in detail. The first two days will consist of formal instructions, in-class discussions, hands-on software tutorials, and exercises.
Day two will start with a lecture on circadian effects of light by Professor Stephen Lockley form the Harvard Medical School. Participants will be given the opportunity to calibrate their personal digital cameras to take HDR images and learn several ways of
how to quantitatively evaluate these images. During the last day, participants will be given the opportunity to apply the newly acquired analysis techniques to ongoing projects of their own and to go over specific problems or simulation challenges with the
instructor.<o:p></o:p></p>
