This symposium is free and open to the public, presented by the ASHRAE Golden Gate Chapter, co-sponsored by the Center for the Built Environment (CBE), at the University of California, Berkeley, and the PG&E Pacific Energy Center.

The seminar will explore the many benefits of windows including views, daylighting, the potential for natural ventilation and increased economic value.

Expert speakers and panelists will discuss emerging window technologies, techniques for modeling windows in energy simulation programs, how the design of HVAC systems are influenced by windows, how to design them to maximize the daylighting benefits, and issues related to codes, standards and testing.
