Learning Units

LU/Elective - Learning program topics related to the core competencies of the discipline or practice of architecture but not within the realm of health, safety, and welfare. Learning programs that address professional practice and other aspects of professional development within the field and practice of architecture are still valuable for continuing professional development and education.

LU/HSW - Learning programs with at least 75 percent of the content intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants of the built environment as defined below:

Health - Those aspects of professional practice that improve the physical, emotional, and social well-being of occupants, users, and any others affected by buildings and sites.
Safety - Those aspects of professional practice that protect occupants, users, and any other affected by buildings or sites from harm.
Welfare - Those aspects of professional practice that enable equitable access, elevate the human experience, encourage social interaction, and benefit the environment.

The HSW Justification is your opportunity to let the AIA reviewers understand how the program will address the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants of the built environment. Do not simply repeat parts of the HSW definition, your description, or learning objectives here. Use the justification to explain clearly which aspect(s) of HSW will be discussed, how it is relevant to the architect, and most importantly, how it is connected to protecting or enhancing the public good. Keep in mind that HSW is about protecting the occupants of the built environment. You must show a direct connection between the topic of the learning program and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants of the built environment.
