<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are very pleased to announce the availability of DIVA-4.0 beta for
<a href="http://solemma.net/DIVA-for-Rhino/download.html" target="_blank">download</a>. The
<a href="http://diva4rhino.com/">DIVA Grasshopper</a> tools have been completely revamped for this release. We have also added the <a href="http://archsim.com/" target="_blank">Archsim</a> multi-zone thermal modelling environment in Grasshopper to the DIVA
suite and fully coupled our lighting and energy simulations. Other workflow improvements include hybrid luminance images with illuminance contours, inclusion of the Utah colored sky model by Mark Stock on Windows and the photon mapping forward ray tracing
module by Roland Schregle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We will be offering a series of training opportunities over the coming months including at
<a href="http://diva4rhino.com/profiles/blogs/diva-at-plea-2016">PLEA in Los Angeles</a> on July 10 and 13 and at the University of Toronto, Canada, on Sep 29. Please go to
