FENG SHUI FOR THE 21ST CENTURY |
0.8 |
Translated from Chinese as “wind” and “water”, Feng Shui benefits from a 4,000 year-old history of ensuring the harmonious flow of energy or “chi” through an environment to promote health, well-being, and prosperity. “Feng Shui for the 21st Century” makes Feng Shui tenets accessible to a modern Western-trained audience and provides design professionals with practical tools to select or evaluate any space, building, or site. Feng Shui principles rooted in environmental, internal and external features can then be applied to offer clients integrative design solutions that can garner a specific physical or emotional response and achieve optimal health, comfort, accessibility, and sustainability. While items pertaining to health and well-being are addressed throughout the course, a chapter specifically addresses how Feng Shui and Green Design principles often overlap, while a separate chapter focuses on how Feng Shui and Barrier-Free Design principles interface. |

COMMON ADA PROBLEMS AT NEWLY CONST-RUCTED LODGING FACILITIES |
0.1 |
Hotels, motels, inns, and other places of lodging designed and constructed after January 26, 1993 must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To comply and to make it possible for persons with disabilities to use lodging facilities, the facilities must meet specific requirements set out in Justice Department regulations, 28 C.F.R. pt. 36. These regulations include detailed architectural requirements known as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. This 11-page Department of Justice publication details 10 common ADA problems that have been identified through the Department`s ongoing enforcement efforts. The specific requirement of the Standards that has not been met follows each error/omission. This distance learning program is based on a publication by the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice, which can be read, free of charge, online at http://www.ada.gov/comhotel.pdf To earn continuing education credits for reading this publication: Register for this course, then submit your completed questionnaire to us for grading. |
|
COMMON ADA ERRORS AND OMISSIONS IN NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS |
0.1 |
The ADA requires that new construction and alterations to existing facilities comply with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. ADA requirements for new construction and alterations include detailed provisions for elements, spaces, and facilities. Successful accessibility is often measured in inches, so attention to detail can make the difference between achieving access and excluding or injuring someone. When the ADA`s minimum requirements are not met, the results can limit or exclude a person with a disability and can be dangerous. This 13-page US Department of Justice publication lists a sampling of common accessibility errors or omissions that have been identified through the Department`s ongoing enforcement efforts. The specific requirement of the Standards that has not been met follows each error/omission. This distance learning program is based on a publication by the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice, which can be read, free of charge, online at http://www.ada.gov/errors.pdf.

BEYOND THE CHAPEL: USING LIGHT AS INSPIRATION THROUGHOUT HEALTHCARE FACILITIES |
0.1 |
Other than in meditative/chapel spaces or perhaps in the main public lobby within hospitals, we do not fully utilize light as a tool in shaping and forming the enormous medical buildings and healthcare campuses we construct in the United States. Thankfully, healthcare has at last engaged sustainable strategies, and as light and energy have become “requirements” in new construction and renovation projects, we’ve become more engaged as team members with healthcare administrators, facility managers, engineers, architects, and designers in bringing light into healthcare buildings in meaningful and productive ways. This topic is explored by Tama Duffy Day, FIIDA, FASID, LEED AP, in her article for HEALTHCARE DESIGN, “Beyond the Chapel,” which this course is based on. |

BUSINESS ETIQUETTE AND PEOPLE SKILLS |
0.1 |
Good manners are good business. Successful professionals possess personal skills that make the difference in relationships: confidence in one’s self and sensitivity to the personalities of others. Because 85 percent of your success in business is based on your people skills, your demeanor and behavior toward others are as important as your technical abilities and professional competence. Refine your listening, conversation and overall etiquette skills to represent you and your company with poise and assurance. This course contains a recording of a webinar presentation given by Nancy R. Mitchell. |

BUSINESS PLANNING FOR NEW DESIGNERS |
0.2 |
It’s reasonable to say that the fundamental reasons most designers have for entering the profession have little or nothing to do with the skills and knowledge needed to operate a practice. What many new designers discover when opening a business is the common disconnect between those characteristics that make a great designer and those that make a great business person. What if the obsession that drives most designers could be harnessed to craft a compelling and successful business model? This course demonstrates clear methods for converting those passions, capabilities, and strengths into a viable economic engine. |
