Continuing Education
AIA members are required to earn eighteen LUs of credit including eight HSW hours which are based on a program's
length. Continuing education on sustainable design (SD) gained importance for AIA architects in January 2009. Four of the required total of 18 learning units (LUs) must focus on sustainable design as a
prerequisite for annual membership renewal from 2010 through 2012.
