STEP Into the Sun:
Solar Training for Design Professionals

A new accredited course specifically designed for architects and engineers debuts in Versailles, KY on January 31st, in cooperation with AIA Kentucky and Bluegrass ASHRAE. The training includes design considerations for incorporating solar photovoltaics (PV) into buildings, how to speak with clients about the benefits of solar PV, where to find information on financial incentives, and much more.

The one-day training was developed by the Building Codes Assistance Project (BCAP), the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE), and national solar energy experts, in partnership with American Institute of Architects (AIA) and ASHRAE. The cost of the training includes lunch and is reduced due to sponsorship by the U.S Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative: regular price is $150; AIA and ASHRAE members pay just $125; NGOs, veterans - $75; and students $15.

Special offer: Register with a friend and both tickets are 50% off.
Education credits: 6.5 AIA LU/HSW, 0.65 ICC Preferred Provider CEUs, and 6.5 GBCI

Lexington Emerging Professionals Network

The Lexington Emerging Professionals Network (LEPN) was started in October of 2016, to provide architectural emerging professionals in the Lexington area an opportunity to network and participate in fellowship with their peers. The LEPN will hold monthly meet-ups at local restaurants, where all area emerging professionals will be welcomed regardless of AIA membership. The goal of the LEPN is to engage all emerging professionals in the larger Lexington architectural community.
 
If you are an emerging professional in the Lexington area, please follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lexepnetwork, and stay up-to-date on future events.
