VELUX partners with Igloo Studios in on-line CES approved course that teaches designers how to use Google® SketchUp™ to specify skylights in a LEED Platinum case study home

The free and convenient interactive video podcast course qualifies for both AIA and LEED AP continuing education units. The course includes three videos totaling over 70 minutes of tutorials showing professionals how to use Google® SketchUp™ to specify skylights into a LEED Platinum case study home.  “Due to our partnership with Igloo Studios, SketchUp users can now simply choose and paste skylights or roof windows into their conceptual design documents that will later go into architectural drawings, house plans, or blueprints,” said Joe Patrick - national product marketing manager with VELUX.  “They can also access all the necessary information to specify the products with a few clicks of the mouse, and learn how to do all that while earning continuing education credit.”  Google SketchUp is powerful, yet easy-to-learn and use, software developed to provide quick and easy 3-D for conceptual stages of design.  The Google 3-D Warehouse is a repository of 3-D objects that expedites the design process.  Google SketchUp makes it easy to find and import 3-D models from the 3-D Warehouse into a SketchUp model, and VELUX has now made it simple for people designing in 3-D to import high-quality models of many VELUX products into their 3-D designs.  The course can be found at this link: http://velux.igloostudios.com
