  • Daylighting Webinar Series
    Daylighting Fundamentals (recorded April 19, 2011)
    Daylighting in the Midwest: Tools and Analysis (recorded April 26, 2011)
    Energy Center University hosts two on-demand webinars presented by daylighting experts Tate Walker, AIA, LEED AP and Scott Schuetter, PE, LEED GA.
  • AIA Wisconsin
    Energy Center University presents a selection of recorded conference sessions.
  • Basics of Daylighting in a Green Environment
    Presented by Southface Online Training, this course introduces the use of daylighting in commercial spaces. Shows why daylighting should be considered, the basic guidelines of using daylighting and some words of caution when using certain daylighting techniques.
  • Best Practices in Building Fenestration: Windows, Doors and Glazing
    This Course will provide you with a top-level introduction to current approaches to window design and detail, glass technology, curtain walls and daylighting. Discussions center around glass selection, detailing windows, critical details of window and building envelope design, maintenance and longevity of curtain walls and daylighting basics.
  • CHPS Professional Design Seminars: Lighting & Daylighting
    Presented by the Collaborative of High Performance Schools, topics include controls, fixtures, appropriate school design (for gyms, corridors, libraries, bathrooms, classrooms etc.), outdoor lighting, daylighting systems, views, and fenestration.
  • Customer Education Online Training
    In addition to hosting their own workshops, Lutron Electronics presents online training that can provide continuing education credit opportunities on topics including: daylight in the office sapce, daylighting in schools K-12, and office space design.
  • Daylighting in Schools Online Training
    Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, this web-based resource was created to help building professionals—and others interested in the topic—understand and be able to deliver high quality daylighting in schools.
  • Daylighting Principles
    Daylighting forms the cornerstone of resource-efficient, high-performance design for schools. Daylighting not only provides light to see in the work environment but also provides a natural rhythm that determines the cycles of days and seasons and biological stimulation for hormones that regulate body systems and moods. In addition, it offers opportunities for natural ventilation and, if properly integrated with the electric lighting system, can provide tremendous energy savings. The advantages of daylighting translate to higher performance in schools. Research has shown that children achieve significantly higher test scores in classrooms that are daylit than in those that are not, making daylighting one of the best building-related investments for the learning environment.
  • DLC Lighting Knowhow Series
    Presented by DesignLights Consortium, these two-hour seminars will teach you how to increase sales and profit margins, use the knowhow series to promote energy-efficient & high-quality lighting designs, and develop lighting layouts.
  • Energy Design Resources
    EDR presented four free 90-minute webinars as a convenient method for architects, designers, energy engineers, and consultants to continue their education. Topics included are: daylighting design, integrated energy design, commissioning, and LEED rating system.
  • Energy Efficient Buildings: It's All About Money Now
    Offered by Energy Center University, Eric Truelove presents the business and financial case for designing and constructing energy efficient buildings. He also gives examples of buildings that use off-the-shelf proven technology, cost very little or nothing at all extra to build and can be replicated. With the uncertain future of energy costs this presentation should not be missed!
  • High Performance Glazing Systems
    This online course offered by Energy Center University is designed for individuals who want more in-depth knowledge of the impact of window designs not only on aesthetics but also on energy efficiency, human health and productivity.
  • High Performance School Design Online Training: Fenestration
    Offered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, this course presents basic information on window glazing and heat transfer mechanisms, as well as eight guidelines for specific side lighting and top lighting schemes.
  • Lessons in Lighting
    Presented by Lightolier, this free online course on lighting fundamentals is intended for those new to the lighting industry or for professionals looking to "brush up" on their basic lighting knowledge.
  • Lighting Control & Design Continuing Education
    Attend LC&D's continuing education courses to learn more about the latest technology in lighting controls for new and retrofit construction design and earn professional development credit for your Architectural (AIA/CES) or Engineer license renewal.
  • Lighting Controls Association
    LCA presents education express courses including an introduction to lighting control, switching control, fluorescent dimming, daylight harvesting, lighting & commercial energy codes, and hi-bay lighting upgrades. Can receive education credit towards certification maintenance.
  • Lighting Research Center
    LRC offers courses and seminars to practicing professionals and others interested in increasing their lighting knowledge including lighting education online with continuing education credits for successfully completed courses.
