The new course, “Understanding Architectural Linear Drains,” delves into the numerous design uses of linear drains, as well as the distinct details accessible and recommended waterproofing methods.
Infinity Drain, a renowned developer of architectural drainage solutions, has partnered with Architectural Record to launch a new online CEU program. The new course, “Understanding Architectural Linear Drains,” delves into the numerous design uses of linear drains, as well as the distinct details accessible and recommended waterproofing methods.
“We are excited to expand our linear drain course library with a new CEU all about architectural drainage,” stated Infinity Drain’s president, Jonathan Brill. “They are available in a wide range of sizes, finishes, and customizing possibilities. This course explains which options are available and where they might be best used in a project.”
Learning objectives of the 1 AIA LU/HSW credit educational course:
- The 1 AIA LU/HSW credit educational course aims to help students understand the need of efficient water drainage for safety and accessibility in various building types.
- Investigate the numerous design alternatives for creating stylish and safe water drainage solutions.
- Evaluate the performance aspects of architectural drainage systems that influence their effectiveness and safety.
- Recognize how the principles discussed in this course are applied to specific building types using project example case studies.
Course Description: Most projects require water to be drained away from buildings. This applies to both indoor and outdoor sites, as well as a wide range of building types. However, just because there is a functional requirement does not imply that the answer cannot also be a design feature. Architectural linear drains have been employed to provide both efficient drainage and superior architectural features. Many architects are paying more attention to the quality of drainage goods and specifying architectural drains rather than cheap options. This is especially true in places with greater amenities, such as outdoor areas, wellness spaces, wet rooms, balconies, and so on, where a high-end appearance is necessary as well as compliance with performance standards like adequate drainage and accessibility. In this course, we will discuss some of the fundamental ideas and criteria for incorporating architectural drainage, as well as provide instances of effective solutions.
