Daylighting Initiative
PG&E's Daylighting Initiative has two goals: to raise awareness of good daylighting practice within the design community and to improve the practice of daylighting design. The case studies below document a wide range of successful technical solutions demonstrated across a number of different commercial applications.
Below are the reports in PDF format. To have the original brochures sent to you, please contact Marlene Vogelsang at mxv6@pge.com. For more information about the project, contact Project Manage Peter Turnbull at pwt1@pge.com.
