Architects: Earn AIA LUs with a VELUX Lunch & Learn

Written by Allyson Miller | October 14, 2021

VELUX Skylights is a proud AIA sponsor. We are also deeply committed to enhancing architecture through daylight and fresh air to promote health and wellbeing in our built environments. That's why we offer a variety of Lunch & Learn opportunities that shed some light on modern daylighting in addition to helping architects earn continuing education credits to remain AIA compliant.

 

What is a Lunch & Learn?

At VELUX, we have created a number of courses to help architects earn continuing education Learning Units (LUs) each year. We administer these courses online or in person through hour-long sessions we call, "Lunch & Learns."

Available Courses

VELUX currently offers Lunch & Learn sessions with the following courses:

  • The Future of Healthy Homes (#000221) — Residential focus. This course communicates how daylight and fresh air transmitted through skylights can contribute to an ideal indoor climate while accentuating modern design aesthetics.
  • Emerging Daylighting & Ventilation Strategies for High Performance Schools & Buildings (#HPS2021)* — Commercial focus. This course reviews the definition of a High Performance School and teaches attendees key principles of daylighting with multiple skylight systems as tools for effective lighting design strategy.
  • Emerging Toplighting Technologies (#000370) — Commercial focus. This course covers the influencing factors that impact daylighting in commercial buildings, as well as emerging, innovative technologies.
  • High-Performance Design with Polycarbonate Glazing Systems (#WAS021)* — Commercial focus. This course addresses polycarbonate glazing systems as daylighting solutions that are durable, cost-effective, and sustainable.
  • Unitized Structural Skylights (#000360)* — Commercial focus. Through this course, attendees will come to understand the evolution of unitized structural skylights and how innovations have transformed them for the 21st century.
