SFS intec, Inc., the premier manufacturer of engineered fastening systems to the construction industry, announced that its Corrosion Prevention in Constructing Fastening Systems presentation (CORR1A) has been approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as a sustainable design credit beginning in January 2009. SFS intec is one of the first companies to offer the new sustainable design credit.

The presentation, abbreviated as CORR1A, will fulfill a portion of AIA members’ continuing education requirements. Architects are required to earn 18 continuing education credits each year, eight of which must be health, safety, and welfare (HSW) credits. Of those eight credits, four of the credits must be sustainable design credits. Sustainable design knowledge provides architects with essential information that will help them address and respond to the challenges of designing architecture that meets the needs of today without compromising the future. The corrosion prevention presentation provides the design professional with the knowledge to determine which materials are appropriate in order to achieve sustainable design goals for differing building life cycles.

In addition to the corrosion prevention presentation, SFS intec offers four other AIA (HSW) continuing education seminars. Program summaries for all AIA courses can be found on the Architectural Products section of our website.
