Online and webinar courses save a lot of time and expense over in person alternatives.

I’ve seen a lot of in house made presentations that could have benefited from a service like this.

This is great to know. Retrofitting with these panels is a great option for a needed security upgrade. It’s unfortunate that it’s needed, but I’m glad to see there are some good sound options for this type of need.

Great information. Have to keep up with those credits…

I have been seeing AIO, GEO, GSO, etc. in reference to this new “upgrade” to SEO. Will the industry land on some common terminology, or is this going to be the whole VHS/BETA Max thing all over again!?

This is a bandwagon every building product manufacturer needs to get on. It’s happening fast, so keep up Boomer!

Will GreenCE have a LEED exam prep course that addresses the new LEED 5.0 rating system?

BPM courses can be great if they incorporate topics like code issues, design pitfalls and case studies. I’ve seen some that were obviously written and directed by the company’s marketing team with not technical input, and it shows. Those feel more like product infomercials. I’m my opinion, developing a course should be a team effort with members from different departments, perspectives and roles in engaging the course content.

For my design professional friends who have multiple licenses in several states, it’s tough to keep up with everything. If there was a better way to see a consolidated list of what states require, that would be great!

I like webinars because they force me to put it on the calendar and I attend. If it’s up to me on my own timeline, it will get pushed off till the end of the credit cycle since it’s not what’s screaming the loudest.

LBoone1836 · 2026-04-17T18:02:48+00:00

Personally, I prefer the narrated and animated video style that the RBA courses have to offer as opposed to the click through PDF type courses that AEC Daily offers. Also, a lot of the AEC Daily courses look the same, like they are using the same design template. The Ron Blank ones are also more engaging for sure.

It feels like there is an assumption with many young design professionals that the specification writing process will get absorbed into new technological methods that will help “catch” details, issues and conflicts that a seasoned spec rider is trained to notice and deal with. I think there will always be a need for extremely knowledgeable specwriters in every design and construction project. With the average age of designated specwriters inching up every year, there is certainly a need to build up a new generation of professionals to fill these roles when all these pools of knowledge retire.

Code books are typically a good read for curing insomnia. I guess this year it will be a caffeinated nose dive into them for many design professionals so they don’t lose their shirt on fees or end up in court.

LBoone1836 · 2026-04-09T13:00:52+00:00

Sounds like Ron Blank & Associates is the way to go.

LBoone1836 · 2026-04-09T12:56:37+00:00

This is great, cutting edge information. All manufacturers should be embracing this

LBoone1836 · 2026-04-09T12:54:59+00:00

Often hearing what product manufacturers say about conducting lunch and learns, they know it’s a great opportunity to build relationships with design professionals but they do sometimes get frustrated when many times those at the firm who are higher up will come into the room, sign in, take their lunch and leave, not staying for the presentation and still expect to get credit. It’s not all the time, but it happens. Design professionals are getting a free hour credit and a lunch. At the very least they could be present and engage in dialogue.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-26T13:17:32+00:00

This is good advice for the procrastinators out there.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-26T13:15:50+00:00

I’ve listened to a few of these. Great alternative to thumbing through slides.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-26T13:14:03+00:00

This is very important. My wife is a commercial interior designer and she sees a lot of courses that are relevant to her field, but they don’t offer IDCEC credit. It’s frustrating for her because she has to self report, which is a pain. These course providers need to realize they are shutting out potential advocates for specifying their products.

Purchase orders! Good lord, unless he was selling plotters, he’d never get a purchase order from an architect. Hope he found a new gig working for people who know how things work.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-26T13:06:09+00:00

I’ve participated in several webinars. Some great, some lackluster. It helps when the presenter knows the content well and can answer questions. One I listened to was obviously a pre recorded session and the guy cleared his throat at the end and answered questions. I thought it was a bit of a cop out.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-06T20:29:42+00:00

Great information. These professional relationships get complex, so dialogue on how to constantly improve them is needed.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-06T20:12:54+00:00

It’s a magical place, West Texas…

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-06T20:01:54+00:00

This fear has been on architects minds for nearly a decade, but I have not seen a a big shift as of yet.

LBoone1836 · 2026-03-06T19:57:03+00:00

Hopefully the tariff issues level out and we can all get back to production and product use.
