TGP offers a continuing education course on Daylighting practices, an important sustainability initiative:

“A Bright Future: Daylighting for Tomorrow’s Buildings.” — an AIA Course for Sustainable Credit:

As designing with natural light grows in popularity for green building and overall aesthetics, more architects and designers are looking for resources to help with effective Daylighting practices. This course covers the role of Daylighting in designing environmentally sustainable buildings, and the benefits and challenges of using natural light.
