Objective
This project is situated in the context of the threat of global warming and the urgent need to reduce the consumption of energy, and to encourage the use of renewable and alternative energies. Architectural practices and consulting engineers need to develop the skills of appropriate daylighting design for buildings. There is a need to transfer the results of research into training programmes so that they become available more widely within the EU, and building professionals can actually benefit from them.
The main objectives of the project are : to transfer and disseminate, through training, the expertise in daylighting design developed in EU R&D programmes; and to meet the needs of European 'building practices' with regard to the use of daylighting techniques in building.
The partners will develop a flexible training package which will incorporate the most recent daylighting techniques and make them widely available to practitioners across Europe. The partners will produce a multimedia teaching package on CD-ROM, targeted at building design practitioners, i.e. architectural and consulting engineering practices. They will also set up a web-based teaching package aimed at university students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This will be developed using WebCT, which allows complete on-line course management and development of structured learning environments. Products will be developed in English, Italian and French.
Impact
The project will have an impact on the skills of building design practitioners, the architecture curricula of five European universities, and the professional mobility of architects and consulting engineers.
