The American Institute of Architects (AIA) contains nearly 300 state and local chapters and has been the principal professional membership association for architects since 1857. To assist architects in gaining educational credits to maintain their licenses, the AIA offers a vast variety of continuing education courses that cover a wide range of applicable topics. AIA courses are developed by qualified educational providers and carefully evaluated to ensure the most reliable and accurate data.

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 4Sustainable 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.
