List of current presentations:
- Learn how access to natural light can provide health benefits, productivity benefits, access to views and ventilation control, and more.
- Learn how translucent panel daylighting systems are constructed, and features to look for when specifying a translucent panel system.
- Examine the reasons why translucent panel daylighting systems, and daylighting systems in general, can play a significant part in sustainable design
- Understand the benefits of daylighting both to building occupants and the bottom line.
- Understand how translucent panel systems can be used a variety of building types by looking at the unique benefits of both wall and skylight systems.
- Understand how translucent FRP panel systems are constructed and gain a general knowledge of the materials used in the systems and their general benefits.
- Examine the benefits of natural light both in terms of occupant comfort and well-being as well as the energy-saving benefits of a reduction in the need for artificial light sources.
- Get an understanding of the different types of specialty systems available, ranging from systems that provide hurricane and high wind protection to blast protection and systems that can assist with installation and job-site issues.
- Gain knowledge related to how translucent panel daylighting systems fit into green building guidelines and standards, including LEED®.
- Discuss the impact of high-performing products on the well-being and productivity of occupants, and the profitability of businesses and building owners
- Define innovative methods to bring natural light and air into buildings
- Identify durable and high-performing glazing materials
- List building standards and codes applicable to designing with light and air
- Identify case studies that illustrate the positive effect of designing with light and air.
- Discuss general day-lighting design considerations throughout the many stages of project development.
- Analyze case studies for their effectiveness, as well as explore the recent advances in performance and aesthetics of modern translucent systems.
- We will define day-lighting, as it relates to the built environment, and investigate the impact effective day-lighting can have on building energy use and occupant health/comfort.
- Compare the performance of the major translucent envelope systems currently available and what code requirements are the most important to look for.
- Examining the Benefits of Natural Light: How access to natural light benefits everything from productivity to school attendance to retail spending.
- Implementing Good Daylighting Design: Best practices for bringing natural light into a space in a beneficial way, taking into consideration things like intended space use, building orientation, and interior design elements that can affect light travel.
- Discovering the Benefits of Glass Glazing: What’s the history of glass glazing and why has it become the standard glazing material in the industry
- Best Practices for Implementing Glass Skylights into a Design: We’ll look at project examples that highlight effective daylighting design in various market segments, reviewing how the systems were used and their specific benefits,
- Building Standards: Examine how glass skylights fit into green building standards and WELL building considerations, some final items to consider if specifying a glass skylight system, and conclude with an overview of the benefits of glass and of daylighting in general.
