[Radiance-general] Announcement - 3rd VELUX Daylight Symposium in Rotterdam, 13-14 May 2009

[Nicolas Roy]

3rd VELUX Daylight Symposium in Rotterdam, 13-14 May 2009

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.

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.

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.

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.
