Sustainability is an essential subject in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry—it’s never been more important to grasp sustainable building practices and design concepts than it is today.
To help support your professional growth in this area, we teamed up with the “Practice Disrupted” podcast––hosted by Practice of Architecture Founder Evelyn Lee and Apostrophe Consulting Founder Je’Nen Chastain, MBA, Assoc. AIA––to offer two audio-based continuing education (CE) courses for architects who want to be leaders in climate action. Simply pick a course (or choose both!), listen to the podcast recording, and pass a short quiz on the content to earn Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) credit.
