For Architects & Designers · AIA + IDCEC Accredited
2026 CEU Courses for architects and designers
Accredited continuing-education courses on integrating technology, lighting, and shades into the homes you design, taught by working integrators and brought to your studio over a complimentary lunch.
Continuing education, on your calendar
Credits worth earning. Sessions worth attending.
We bring accredited CEU courses to architecture and design offices across Manhattan and the Hamptons. The sessions are practical, current, and led by integrators who design and install these systems every day.
Your team earns AIA and IDCEC credits while learning how to specify technology that supports the design, rather than competing with it.
