Peerless Offers Continuing Education Course for Best Practices in Classroom Lighting

Craig DiLouie January 13, 2010

Peerless has announced the start of AIA-approved Continuing Education Courses offered online at ArchitectCES.com.

“Lighting for Learning,” which I was pleased to work with Peerless to produce, is the first on many courses to come that were designed by Peerless to help architects and lighting professionals learn best practices for lighting and controls.

This sustainable design learning unit focuses in particular on Classroom Lighting and Controls and describes how the learning environment is improved upon by changing lighting options. Upon completion of the Peerless-sponsored “Lighting for Learning” course, you will be able to describe at least two control settings and how they impact light quantity and quality in a school setting.

The course will also enable you to describe how and why the Collaborative for High Performance Schools seeks to improve interior lighting. In addition, you will learn how lighting can affect the economics of a school budget.

The PEERLESS sponsored course provides 1 LU/HSW/SD relating to health, safety and/or welfare (HSW) criteria in the newly required Sustainable Design (SD) topic. (As of January 1, 2009 all AIA Architects are required to take 4 Learning Units of “Sustainable Design” coursework to meet AIA continuing education requirements and retain AIA membership.)

Take the course anytime, 24/7, here.
