An online

Education Units (CEUs) for a one-hour course on designing
with vinyl siding. The American Institute of Architects, the
American Institute of Building Design and the Construction
Specifications Institute are among those who have approved
the course for CEUs.
The continuing
education course — A Guide to Designing with Today's
Vinyl Siding — provides an extensive overview
of how to incorporate vinyl siding, architectural trim and
accessories into a range of popular architectural styles.
The program also includes a brief history of vinyl siding,
types of vinyl siding available, and their numerous features
and benefits.

The
course is presented by Matthew Dobson, director, code
& regulatory for the Vinyl Siding Institute. "Architects,
builders, specifiers and other building professionals
face many challenges with today's market and economic
conditions," Dobson said. "This course is
a vital tool that shows how vinyl siding can meet demands
for versatile design, lasting beauty, durability, sustainability
and value."
Professionals
who score 80 percent or higher on the course's exam
qualify to earn appropriate credits.
Since
mid-September, nearly 100 professionals have passed
the course. Among the participants who submitted a course
evaluation, more than 96% rated it "good"
or "excellent" on a variety of criteria. "The
course was interesting and informative," one participant
commented. "The house diagrams were especially
helpful."
The
course will be available online through 2010.
