[Radiance-general] Daylight Simulation Event in Boston and via Webcast (Fwd: Daylight Simulation in Design - Event and Webcast)

[J. Alstan Jakubiec]

Dear Radiance and DIVA users,

I am forwarding this message at the request of Holly Samuelson, president  
of IBPSA-Boston. On February 7th IBPSA-Boston is hosting an event on using  
daylight simulations for design which will be of interest to many of you.  
For those not in Boston, the event will be webcast online. Details can be  
found in Holly's message below.

Kind regards,
Alstan

Subject: Daylight Simulation in Design - Event and Webcast


IBPSA Boston in conjunction with IES Boston is excited to present our next  
event, Daylight Simulation in Design, on February 7th from 6:00-7:30pm EST  
at MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  We have two groups of  
speakers who will present some interesting applications of daylight  
simulation in architecture projects.  As usual,  the event will be webcast  
and web-archived.  Please RSVP to ibpsa.boston at gmail.com if you plan to  
attend in person.  Details below.
(Also, please save the date for our next event/webcast, a joint meeting  
the evening of March 13 with ASHRAE and AEE.)

Daylight Simulation in Design
February 7, 6:00-7:30pm EST
MIT, building 7 (aka 77 Massachusetts Ave.) room 431 (aka the Long Lounge)
Social event to follow at a local pub TBD.  Munchies provided.

Presentation Synopses:
Schroepfer + Hee’s New Jurong Church (planned for completition in 2013) is  
an approximately 10,000 sqm religious and cultural facility located in the  
densely populated western part of Singapore. The presenters will discuss  
how, with the need to mitigate the harsh climate conditions of the tropics  
and yet not have a high dependence on mechanical cooling systems, the  
conception and design of the building envelope employed state-of-the-art  
lighting and energy use simulations to make full use of passive systems,  
leading to an understanding of architecture in that form, material,  
structure and performance are not seen as separate elements, but rather as  
complex interrelations.

Daylight modeling can be a powerful tool in the professional architectural  
world, but it can also create various challenges. Using examples from  
their work at Lam Partners, the presenters will show ways in which  
daylight modeling can be crafted strategically to support design ideas, as  
well as some of the hurdles to using this type of analysis on projects.  
The presentation will touch upon topics such as cost, efficiency and  
marketing.
Speakers:
Thomas Schroepfer, Associate Professor at Singapore University of  
Technology and Design and Principal at Schroepfer + Hee
Alstan Jakubiec, PhD Candidate at MIT
Azadeh Omidfar, Researcher at MIT, Designer at Einhorn Yaffee Prescott
Glenn Heinmiller, Principal at Lam Partners
Kera Lagios, Designer at Lam Partners
