Vital Signs Tool Day at the Patagonia Service Center—which houses warehousing, distribution, and customer service functions— in Reno, Nevada was scheduled to follow the SBSE Retreat in Hope Valley, California, and to precede the ASES Conference in Reno. It was a nine hour affair during which participants became familiar with the Patagonia’s green building and gained hands-on experience measuring aspects of its performance, e.g. daylighting, thermal stratification, visual comfort, air movement. They gained experience in using equipment, conducting a mini-case study, and working in teams led by university faculty and highly trained teaching assistants. Patagonia's Roxanne Sterr, Administrative Services Manager, and Dave Abeloe, Distribution Center Director, collaborated in this Vital Signs program. The building was designed by the Miller-Hull Partnership, Seattle, and was published in Environmental Building News (9/10/96) and Landscape Architecture (3/97). Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE) members, university students, and professional architects and engineers were encouraged to participate. |
