Charlottesville IBC Seminar in March

Posted on by cguske

On March 28, 2013, the Virginia Society AIA is offering a Significant Changes to the International Building Code 2012 seminar in Charlottesville. Learn about the important changes from the 2009 edition of the code. You’ll discover the reasoning behind the changes and how they affect accessibility. Hear a summary of significant changes and discuss the intent behind each change and how it could affect designs and enforcement.

The seminar includes a book detailing each of the critical changes. Each change analysis features the affected code sections and identifies the change as newly added text, a modification of the existing language, or deleted text. Accompanying each change are detailed illustrations and concrete examples, which bring the technical jargon of the code to life in a real-world setting.

Registration is $170 and continental breakfast and lunch are included. (Non-members pay $230). The registration deadline is March 7. Register here>>

Changes to Self-Reporting HSW Credits

Posted on by cguske

Beginning in calendar year 2012, in order to align closer with state licensing boards’ practices,  members may no longer self-report HSW credit hours.  AIA Continuing Education System providers will need to report HSW courses in order for you to receive HSW credits. Members will not receive HSW credit for any courses included on a self-reporting form.

Members can continue to self-report credit hours for self-designed activities, structured self-reported courses, professional community service, and other courses not offered by approved AIA/CES providers.

For a refresher on self-reporting, visit the CES Self Report page.
