Tool Days
Tool Days are a one-day, behind-the-scenes peek at the secret life of buildings. The idea came about after the Milwaukee pilot training session in 2001, when we realized the need for us to connect with practitioners. Tool Days are great learning and teaching experiences that involve a rich mixture of teachers, students and practitioners, state-of-the-art measurement tools, intriguing buildings. Architects can earn AIA/CES credits by participating in Tool Day. You can organize a Tool Day in your region for no-cost and disseminate your know-how and enthusiasm.

Another Tool Day is scheduled for the Solar Decathlon Building by University of Texas at Austin (Michael Garrison) in June 2003, prior to the annual American Solar Energy Conference.
