In January 2022, OAA Council approved a new requirement for the 2022–2024 Continuing Education cycle for all licensed members: a minimum of two structured learning hours focused on Climate Action.
Established as a priority for the OAA in 2020, Climate Action is a lens through which the OAA examines its work of regulating the practice of architecture. The Association maintains a focus in its programming and framework to ensure members have the education and resources needed to incorporate design approaches that address the climate emergency in both new construction and renovation. Dedicated learning about this critical topic will help members become better practitioners, equipped for a changing world.
