SBSE and BLDG-SIM folks, Below is a summary of a training related to
daylighting and simulation that will be offered for free in Boston in March
and Seattle in April. Details for the Seattle training are still
forthcoming.

Introduction to the Daylighting Pattern Guide
Developing a Visual Vocabulary for Daylighting Design Decision-Making
Harvard Graduate School of Design and Advanced Buildings invite you to a
free, three-hour workshop on the principles of effective daylighting design
and capabilities of a new, innovative design tool, the Daylighting Pattern
Guide.
The online guide, which is available at no cost, is the latest offering from
the Advanced Buildings suite of tools and resources and supports the
integration of proven daylighting strategies into commercial building
projects.
Date: March 10, 2011
Time: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Location: Harvard Graduate School of Design, Cambridge, MA
(directions will be sent to registrants in a separate email)
Cost: Free
Space is limited so reserve your spot now.

Summary:
High-quality daylighting design has the potential to increase user
satisfaction and productivity and save substantial energy. However,
successfully designing daylighting into buildings in a manner that supports
high ratings of visual comfort while also saving energy can be a complex and
challenging process.
This workshop will allow participants to explore the interrelationship
between sky, site, building aperture, and space planning through lecture and
hands-on use of the Daylighting Pattern Guide. The interactive tool uses a
combination of real-world built examples and advanced simulation to set the
stage for substantial reductions in lighting power consumption and overall
building energy use.
The workshop will also include an introduction to the new daylighting design
tool DIVA-for-Rhino, a plug-in for the modeling tool Rhinoceros. This
hands-on introduction will allow participants to delve into additional
daylighting performance parameters for other particular projects.
The Daylighting Pattern Guide was developed by New Buildings Institute,
which manages Advanced Buildings with sponsor support, in partnership with
the University of Idaho and the University of Washington.
Participants will need a laptop with wireless internet connection in order
to access the Daylighting Pattern Guide online tool.
The Dayligthing Pattern Guide has been developed by New Buildings Institute
(NBI) as part of its Advanced Buildings? suite of tools and resources to
help design teams improve the energy performance of commercial buildings.
