<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">This is a reminder that the early bird registration for DIVA DAY 2013, which will be held on July 15<sup>th</sup> in New York, ends this Friday. To register please go

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">DIVA DAY is most suited for two different groups: Practitioners or educators who are either are already familiar with daylighting and energy analysis and who would like to
actively participate in a discussion of how to apply them in practice or to teach them at the university level. If you fall into this category you will get a lot of new ideas that you can directly apply. Alternatively, you may be a practitioner or educator
who considers adding daylighting and energy analysis to your skill set but you first want to see whether this is worth your time. The day provides good networking opportunities for both groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The Executive Education Program is effectively a compressed three day version of the MIT Daylighting Class. We will be going through the theory and practice of conducting
advanced daylight simulations and glare analysis using Radiance/Daysim and E+ as well as HDR photography. On days one and two we will go back and forth between presentations and hands on exercises. On day three participants will work on a project of their
own with support provided by the instructors. If you take this class<span style="color:#1F497D">,</span> you will learn how to actually
<i>do </i>simulations or what pressing certain buttons actually means.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">We scheduled the two events back to back so that you can first learn the theory and then participate in the discussion, all in one week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
