As architects and designers are looking for resources to help with affective daylighting practices, Technical Glass Products (TGP) has provided a convenient educational tool available 24 hours per day. TGP now offers Web access to its AIA-registered course: "A Bright Future: Daylighting for Tomorrow's Buildings." Design professionals can access the free course via TGP's architectural products Web site: www.tgpamerica.com.

Course participants are eligible to earn 1.0 Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) learning unit hour in AIA's Continuing Education System (CES). Topics addressed include: the role of daylighting in designing environmentally sustainable buildings; benefits and challenges of utilizing daylighting in designs; options for modern energy-efficient design materials.

The one-hour course consists of six video modules, a daylighting article, and a brief test. Test scores of 80 percent or higher qualify participants for AIA CES credit. TGP will provide participants who receive a passing score with a certificate of completion and will submit their results directly to AIA for credit.

Qualified architectural firms can also still request an in-person, AIA-registered lunch-and-learn presentation from TGP on daylighting by visiting www.tgpamerica.com. Participants completing the in-person and online courses can earn credits for both.
