Increased Requirements for 2012: AIA Continuing Education

On December 9, the AIA Board of Directors voted to modify the AIA’s calendar year continuing education requirement. Per year, AIA members will be required to complete 12 hours of health, safety, and welfare (HSW) education, an increase from the previous requirement of 8 HSW. The AIA Board will re-evaluate the sustainable design (SD) requirement in 2012. The new HSW requirement goes into effect in January 2012 and AIA members should fulfill their total 18 hours of continuing education during the calendar year.

Increasing the HSW requirement per year sets a higher standard for AIA members and will enable them to fulfill state licensing requirements for most states.  Additionally, increasing the required number of HSW credits will raise the level and quality of our continuing education and professional development of architects.

Additional information and list of topics on health, safety, and welfare (HSW).

Additionally, in calendar year 2012, aligning closer with state licensing boards’ practice, AIA members will no longer be able to self-report HSW courses for credit. Members will need to complete HSW credits by taking qualifying courses from registered AIA CES Providers and Providers will need to report HSW courses for members to receive HSW credits. Members can continue to self-report learning unit (LU) credit hours for non-provider courses and programs.

In the past, AIA members were able to attend courses outside of the AIA CES Provider network and submit a self-report online to be reviewed for HSW or SD credit. AIA CES is implementing this new HSW and SD credit policy to ensure quality education and establish an educational standard for the courses that AIA members attend.

Both Ideate Green BIM Basics and Ecotect Fundamentals qualify for HSW credit, 7 each. For more information about these and other Ideate course offerings, contact the Ideate Training department or call 888.662.7238 x1012.

Recommended Reading: AIA 2010 Virtual Convention and Expo Overview by AECbytes

Lachmi Khemlani, founder and editor of AECbytes, did a nice rundown regarding the AIA 2010 Virtual Convention and Expo. Click here to read Lachmi's complete review.

Be sure to read all the way down to the discussion of 3D printing/software choices. There are two images of 3D models printed with Z Corporation's line of ZPrinters, including an Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 24-hour solar study - very interesting.

If you are in the Sacramento, California area, don't miss the July 1 Sacramento Revit User Group: 3D Printing for AEC. Click here for complete details and registration link.

Rev It Up for Green Renovation



Harness the power of Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions to enhance design speed, predictability, and cost savings. BIM helps you:
    • Visualize the impact of changes before construction
    • Evaluate new construction and renovation design options
    • Identify improvements earlier in the process
    • Accurately predict building performance
    • Minimize costly errors

Autodesk BIM solutions provide the tools you need to do more with less. View the free screencast "Renovation for Architects: Increase Energy Efficiency with BIM" and learn more about Autodesk BIM solutions for architects.



Rev It Up for Green Renovation
Speed your energy retrofit objectives and achieve your green building designs with an Autodesk Energy Performance solution. For a limited time purchase an Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010 license on subscription for $995 with a qualifying AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite or AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite new license, cross-grade, or subscription renewal.

AU Online - Better Decisions, Better Buildings by David Haynes

Visit AU Online for the screencast and hand-outs from David Haynes' AU 2009 presentation on ideas on utilizing Autodesk Ecotect and Revit Architecture to improve energy efficiency.

AB204-4 Better Decisions, Better Buildings, Early Energy Analysis
Studies show that most crucial decisions happen in the first moments of the design process. Architects need tools that will assist them in creating better and more sustainable building projects. This lecture focuses on which tools are available, when to use them, and how to get the maximum benefit from these energy analysis tools. To make better, more energy efficient, sustainable buildings, we need to make better strategic decisions early.

Primary Software: Autodesk Ecotect
Other Software: Revit Architecture

Presented by David Haynes, AIA, LEED AP, Ideate Director of AEC Services

David previously had his own practice and was President of a commercial design-build construction company for 15 years. A graduate of University of Arizona, he has worked as an Architect, contractor, developer, educator, and as a national construction manager for a national retailer. David currently develops and implements targeted AEC business solutions – including Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, AutoCAD Architecture, and Navisworks – for clients across the United States involved in the design and building process.
