Hunter Douglas Architectural
Requirements and Solutions for Automating Shades & Window Coverings
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
This course gives best practices for assessing building conditions that impact the design of automated shading/window covering systems and shows how they relate to occupant well-being (comfort) and the management of daylighting and solar heat gain.
The DEFs of Roller Shade Fabric
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
This course gives designers and architects a refresher on the ABCs of roller shade fabric before moving into the DEFs; Design considerations, Enhancing acoustical performance, and finally, Fenestration, as each relates to roller shade fabric.
Designing Automated Shading Systems
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
In this course, you will learn to identify the impact automated window shading can have on building design, be able to design for the aesthetic requirements of a building, and create occupant well-being (comfort) through automated shading design. This course will help identify the main approaches to automation design to understand what drives cost and technology for the specification of automated systems.
Specifying Exterior and Specialty Roller Shades
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
This course outlines the key considerations for specifying exterior and specialty roller shade systems, including how a building’s structure impacts shade choice and the importance of material selection.
Specifying Interior Roller Shades
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
This course outlines the key considerations for specifying interior roller shade systems – including application, site and glazing conditions, location, project requirements, and budget – and how each relates to occupant well-being and the management of daylighting and solar heat gain.
The ABC’s of Roller Shade Fabrics
Credits: 1 AIA HSW LU
This course gives designers and architects the ABCs of roller shade fabric and outlines how choosing wisely can improve a buildings’ overall performance as well as enhancing occupants’ comfort and productivity. Learn best practices for choosing materials that impact occupant well-being by optimizing daylighting, reducing solar heat gain, and eliminating VOCs.
