What are the AIA Guidelines for Sustainable Design/Health, Safety, Welfare certification?
"The AIA Board of Directors modified the AIA member continuing education requirement to include 4 hours of education in Sustainable Design as part of the existing 18-hour annual requirement. This Sustainable Design requirement goes into effect in 2009 and extends through 2012....The Sustainable Design Mandatory Continuing Education Requirement doe not replace the original requirement for 18 total hours, eight of which must be in Health, Safety and Welfard (HSW) subjects, as HSW is a subset of Learning Units, and Sustainable Design may be a subset of HSW. It designates that four of the total hours be in sustainable design topics."
