HOME SCHEDULE PARTICIPANTS HIGHLIGHTS REI DENVER FLAGSHIP STORE LOCATION SOLAR 2006 PAST TOOL DAYS		July 13, 2006 Denver Tool Day at REI explored the award-winning building designed by Mithun Architects, a firm with a reputation and portfolio of sustainable architecture. The history and sustainable design features of the store are described in The REI Flagship Store. This all-day workshop provided a setting in which participants learned to use handheld instruments, conduct a building performance case study through structured methodology, provide hypothesis and investigation strategy formulation, allow behind-the-scenes building investigations, and culminates in team presentations of study results to the workshop participants. Participants gained understanding of objective and subjective procedures for performing post-occupancy evaluations of buildings. REI is located at 1416 Platte Street, Denver, CO 80202. It's in easy walking distance from the conference site. Participants were encouraged to bring laptop computers, digital cameras, and lunch money. AIA/CES credits are available.
