Lead Window Maker is Certified to Provide Education Credits for Architects

NEW YORK - Oct. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- “Thanks to the presentations made around the country, by the energy-efficient window specialists from Intus Windows, architects can collect credits required for their industry,” says Aurimas Sabulis, managing director of Intus Windows (http://intuswindows.com/), a worldwide leader in the manufacture of energy efficient window products. “In fact, our company is authorized to offer face-to-face and distance learning courses that allow architects to collect credits, both nationally and internationally.”

Sabulis says that these credits are an important part of an architect’s good standing with the American Institute of Architects (AIA).  The AIA works toward a public environment that is responsive to the people it serves, while representing the professional interests of America’s architects. To achieve this goal, every year, registered AIA members are required to complete 18 hours of coursework for membership renewal, which includes 12 hours of coursework in Health, Safety and Welfare topics, and 6 of the 12 hours are general education. This coursework, he says, is part of the AIA’s Continuing Education System (CES).

“Becoming an AIA CES Registered Provider is an important responsibility that we at Intus Windows take very seriously,” says Sabulis.  “Architects who attend these presentations have high expectations. They want to learn and gain new information that can be used not only in theory, but also in practice.”

In order for a presentation to successful, Sabulis says that it must teach new skills as well as build on the participating architect’s current knowledge or skill.

“Attending architects expect the representative to be professional and keep standards high and that’s a challenge that we at Intus gladly accept,” Sabulis explains. “Nowadays, energy efficiency is an important topic in the construction industry and it is our pleasure to educate architects on how to improve their building envelopes by using energy efficient glazing assemblies.”

Sabulis says that a typical Intus presentation for AIA/CES credit focuses on energy efficient windows, doors and curtain walls. The presentation looks at market trends within the energy efficient glazing industry, and architects are brought into the discussion about the components that make up energy efficient glazing assemblies. Case studies of energy efficient windows in commercial and residential applications are also presented to outline the possibilities of using these types of assemblies in mainstream markets.

The AIA/CES program is essential for architects, according to Sabulis.

“The AIA recognizes that continuing education in architecture is crucial to advancing and improving the profession,” he concludes. “Architects need continuing education to maintain competency, to prepare for the future, to fulfill the continuing education requirements for AIA membership, and frequently to renew state licenses.”
