Daylighting is the technique of bringing natural light into a space and using it to enhance the space's visual quality as well as energy performance. Quality daylighting design practices had fallen out of favor, but are experiencing resurgence as energy costs increase and the sustainability movement gains momentum. The best daylight design begins early and integrates many aspects of building design, from building massing to fenestration attributes to lighting controls.

Join us for two webinars presented by the Energy Center of Wisconsin's Tate Walker, AIA, LEED AP and Scott Schuetter, LEED Green Associate. Register for both webinars and save $10.

Daylighting Fundamentals
On-demand (originally broadcast April 19, 2011) | details & registration
We will touch on all aspects of daylight design at the fundamental level. We will discuss climate considerations; how the building type affects the design; building orientation; lighting controls; fenestration size, location and attributes; and shading conditions.

Daylighting in the Midwest: Tools and Analysis
On-demand (originally broadcast April 26, 2011) | details & registration
We will discuss the daylighting analysis tools available. We will specifically explore SkyCalc and SPOT by utilizing these tools to analyze daylighting design specific to the Midwest.
