Penn State University is pleased to host the 14th Annual International Radiance Workshop from Monday, August 17th to Wednesday, August 19th 2015 at the headquarters of the Consortium for Building Energy Innovation (CBEI), located in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Navy Yard is a vibrant and growing urban business campus located approximately 7 miles south of downtown Philadelphia, 6 miles east of the Philadelphia airport, and 4 miles south of the 30th St. Railway Station (AMTRAK). The site address is 4960 South 12th St, Philadelphia, PA 19112.
Online workshop registration will open shortly and a block of rooms is currently reserved at the Marriott Courtyard South at a rate of $184 plus tax (Phone: 215-644-9400) This hotel is on the Navy Yard site and within walking distance of the workshop.

More hotels are located adjacent to the airport (taxi or rental car required for transportation to the Navy Yard).
Attendees are invited to share examples of work they have performed using Radiance, or that is in progress, in a prepared 30-minute presentation.
