| CES Sustainability Requirement & Sustainable Design (SD) Learning Units |
CES Sustainability Requirement
During the March 2008 AIA National Board of Directors meeting, it was approved
that beginning January 1, 2009 the AIA would require all members to complete
four (4) hours of sustainable design. These 4 Sustainable Design (SD) hours
would be included as part of the current 8 hour / HSW requirement. They are not
additional hours to the 18/8 LU hours that the AIA already requires. This
requirement would run until 2012, at which time it will be evaluated.
Sustainable Design (SD) Learning Units
Sustainable design is achieved through an integrated design and delivery process
that enhances the natural and built environment by using energy sensibly with a
goal toward carbon neutrality, improves air and water quality, protects and
preserves water and other resources, and creates environments, communities and
buildings that are livable, comfortable, productive, diverse, safe, and provide
enduring value to our community and society as a whole.
