in Rotterdam, 13-14 May 2009</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Verdana">The third VELUX Daylight
Symposium on daylight quality in buildings will be held at Van Nelle Factory
in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on 13 and 14 May 2009.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Verdana">The previous daylight symposiums,
held in Budapest in 2005 and in Bilbao in 2007, brought together participants
from research, education and architectural practices as well as legislators
and lighting designers from all over the world.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Verdana">Worldwide interest in daylighting
has been renewed considerably to meet future challenges in relation to
energy efficiency, and a growing movement towards sustainable buildings
has established a hopeful target for buildings to reach energy self-sufficiency
in the near future. At the same time, medical and health research is focusing
more on light and its effect on human health and a unified understanding
of light and its impact on human beings has evolved; in general, buildings
that use daylight are healthier places to live in.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Verdana">This third daylight symposium
will focus specifically on benefits in connection with energy use and health.
The programme will provide updates on the scientific progress in the field
as well as experiences and viewpoints from architectural practices. The
programme will also include separate sessions addressing particular aspects
of daylighting as well as open discussions between the speakers and the
audience. The symposium will feature invited papers and commentaries from
leading scientists and practitioners. </font>
