Bendheim Wall Systems Offers New CEU Program for AIA Sustainable Design & USGBC Credit

Bendheim Wall Systems, Inc. is launching a new continuing education program titled “Designing Safe and Sustainable Buildings with Channel Glass Wall Systems.” The free, self-study online program qualifies for one AIA HSW/SD learning unit and one USGBC / GBCI continuing education hour. It can be accessed here and at www.bendheimwall.com.

The course explores the structural properties and design benefits of channel glass wall systems, including daylighting capabilities, thermal performance, types of safety glass, and safety standards and certifications. The sustainable design benefits of channel glass are highlighted through a number of project case studies. They include the LEED Platinum Silver Lake Branch Library, Los Angeles, and the Bronx Library Center, New York City’s first LEED certified building.
