From the Energy Center of Wisconsin:

Enlighten, Volume 1, Issue 1
The bimonthly newsletter of the Daylighting Collaborative


Winter solstice, 2007
Welcome to the first issue of Enlighten the newsletter of the Daylighting Collaborative. The winter solstice marks the return of the sun as our daylight hours begin to lengthen over the next months. It is an appropriate occasion to invite you to learn how to light your buildings using the sky. The Daylighting Collaborative is your window on the world of daylighting design. Our bimonthly newsletter will highlight new developments in daylighting technologies, present research results and connect you with a community of daylighting practitioners.

The Daylighting Collaborative is a program initiated by the Energy Center of Wisconsin and supported by our sponsors. We work collaboratively with other companies, organizations, and individuals to promote the practice of using daylighting in buildings. We’re promoting daylighting because good daylighting creates beautiful, appropriately lit spaces while saving energy. Good daylighting design is an essential strategy for reducing energy use in buildings and meeting the 2030 Challenge.

The Daylighting Collaborative delivers information through our portal. There you will find direct links to other sources of information, citations of current research and annotated references to printed resources to help you successfully daylight your buildings.

Our newsletter is a snapshot of what’s new in the world of daylighting. It will notify you of new information posted on the website, including technical and design updates. In the future, the newsletter will include articles by experts in the daylighting design and construction community providing insight on projects, new technology developments or even random thoughts on the world of daylighting.

We look forward to working with you to light every building using the sky!
