“Light Every Building Using the Sky”
Presented by Abby Vogen, Energy Center of Wisconsin’s Daylighting Collaborative
How can we practically use natural light to illuminate buildings? What common mistakes to avoid? How does daylighting impact whole building energy use and design? Daylighting is more than just a good intention. Abby will discuss how daylighting is a design approach dependent on building science and a solid comprehension of how building systems interact, as well as how occupants interact with their built environment. Learn how capturing this free resource through design can improve environmental quality in terms of health and productivity, which in turn, improves the bottom line.

 In botany, a rhizome is a network of roots, closely knit, drawing nourishment from its surroundings to sustain the plant. For OWP/P’s fifth annual Environmental Awareness Week we sent roots into the community to create a network of professionals. Through lectures, workshops, and innovative product demonstrations new ways to incorporate sustainable design into our professional and everyday lives were explored.
