Join us for the AIANS Educational Salon on October 21 from 5–9 PM at Herb+Oak, featuring three CEU courses and a curated selection of food and drinks.

What’s the difference between an educational event and an educational salon, you ask? We’re not entirely sure—but we can promise an evening that will be elegant, delectable, and, of course, educational.

The evening brings together an exceptional lineup of presenters:

Resilient Exteriors

1 HSW

Designing a structure that is resilient requires a strong understanding of material and building science. This course discusses the composition, performance, and application of engineered polymer siding and trim and capped polymer cladding to illustrate the benefits to home and building owners when construction materials are selected with resilience and sustainability in mind. The course will also examine the relationship between a building’s resilience and the safety of the occupants as well as material selection considerations to ensure a structure maintains livable conditions in the event of a destructive weather event.

Interior Glass Walls for Flexibility, Health, Safety and Wellness

In an ever-evolving world of workspace design, this course explores the pivotal role of interior glass walls. Participants will delve into the core principles of designing flexible, safe, and healthy office environments. From understanding the evolution of the workplace to dissecting key design objectives and engineering considerations and examining comparative studies of interior glass wall options, this course equips attendees with valuable insights to navigate modern workspace challenges.

How Lighting Enhances Architecture, From the Practical to the Ethereal

Topics covered will include the practical and pragmatic side of space illumination such as code-compliant egress lighting and energy consumption (allowable watts per square foot, ASHRAE and Energy Code Standards, how to achieve energy rebates). As well as the magical, transformative role lighting plays in architecture, for both interior and exterior spaces.
