<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Some of you may be interested in the second volume of the Daylighting Handbook that we just released on
<a href="http://buildingtechnologypress.com/">BuildingTechnologyPress.com</a>. The book describes the science behind simulation programs such as DIVA and is divided into two parts,
<i>Daylight Simulations</i> and <i>Dynamic Façades</i>. Chapters 9 to 12 discuss how to predict the overall amount of daylight in and around buildings at any given site using manual methods and computer simulations. Chapters 13 to 16 present an integrated design
analysis framework to evaluate façades with dynamic shading and lighting systems that negotiate between occupant comfort and energy efficiency.
