July, 2007:
Society of Building Science Educators Conference
In June, MBS alumnus Sandra Brown presented her thesis to the Society of Building Science Educators
(SBSE) at their annual retreat in Seattle, Washington. Professor Marc Schiler, and current MBS students
Anita Jeerage and David Douglass also attended. It was an educational experience for all. IslandWood,
where the retreat was held, is a LEED Gold Certified educational facility located on Bainbridge Island. After
the retreat, Professor Schiler took some of the students on a tour of the Seattle Public Library, a LEED
Silver Certified building designed by Rem Koolhaas. In the photo on the right, you can see Prof. Schiler
shutting off task lights that were left on in spite of the daylight flooding the building!
The use of computers in architecture and building science encompasses far more than design and drafting. At the MBS lab students are encouraged to develop new tools thorough research.
