In2aplearning CPD webinars are taught by industry experts and offer one formal CPD point.
CPD modules are a good resource to learn about problematic issues and learn new methods and procedures of building materials in accordance with NCC guidelines. Embrace the digital way with virtual conferences.
This module intends to create a resource for architects to refer to when designing commercial washrooms, emphasising hygiene, accessibility, optimal washroom accessories and sustainability. The module highlights technical and aesthetic design considerations for commercial washrooms.
The importance of providing access to public washrooms for one in five Australians living with some disability is reflected by current Australian Standards AS1428.1: 2021 for disabled access and mobility. We review design aspects, sustainability concerns, safety issues and access provisions. We also assess washroom accessories and selected material options accounting for compliance, hygiene and maintenance concerns. Changing urban demographics and the burring of traditional living and working boundaries have changed people’s needs and attitudes towards greater well-being and comfort outside of the home, with commercial washrooms playing a more important part than ever in our daily lives.
As a society, we are increasingly aware of our personal hygiene and appearance and have greater expectations regarding facilities that support our personal and business social patterns and environmental awareness. Washrooms are no longer an afterthought; they say much about a brand.

When planning to build a new home, most people anticipate spending a number of years, if not decades, living in it. Regardless of the length of stay, new homes are more often than not designed to accommodate changing needs over its lifetime. Consideration should be given to the occupants of the dwelling that one is designing for. This is perhaps even more important when designing for people with a disability. It is imperative that conversations at the design table should focus on the broader vision or amenity of the residents, whilst ensuring that all the key stakeholders are consulted.
The focus of this module will be on fully accessible and high physical support domiciles. Throughout this module, we will be exploring the complex housing needs of disabled Australians.
The façade of a building is often thought of as the most important aspect from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building. The design of a façade can positively trigger physical, physiological and psychological responses. Aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, sustainability and convenience, the demands placed on the modern facades are high.
In this module we will introduce you to the Global Megatrends which have arisen from population growth. These trends are set to impact how we will live in the future, its challenges and possible approaches on how to cope with it.
Acoustic design is often ignored or relegated to an afterthought in modern architecture. However, the way a building performs acoustically has a huge impact on how it is experienced by its users. Good acoustics has been associated with improved health, learning outcomes and enjoyment, whilst poor acoustics has been associated with conflict, stress, anxiety and other health issues. Considering these factors, designing for good acoustics is paramount, but many designers believe they must sacrifice aesthetics in order to achieve good acoustics. In this module, we provide practical ways to design spaces which perform better acoustically but don’t detract from – and in some cases enhance – room aesthetics.
Good acoustic design delivers health and wellbeing benefits to users of commercial and residential buildings but is often overlooked. In this module, we show how to design for acoustics whilst retaining aesthetics.

The idea that our physical environment has the capacity to shape us, and therefore, that a building has the ability to powerfully influence its users is one of the main tenets of architecture and design. Teachers are at the forefront of education innovation and pedagogy. They are cognizant of the physical environments’ ability to ‘make or break’ creativity and stifle learning. This module creates a resource for architects and school planners to refer to for the construction of new learning environments or the renovation of existing learning environments.
This module highlights technical and aesthetic design considerations for commercial washrooms. Washrooms are often overlooked but they say a lot about the image and prestige of the whole establishment. The module reviews design aspects, sustainability concerns, safety issues and access provisions. It assesses toilet partition components, washroom accessories and selected material options accounting for compliance, hygiene and maintenance concerns.
Environmentalists agree that nature provides the ideal model for sustainability.
Nature does not waste, it repurposes and recycles. Today’s fossil fuels account for some 87% of the world’s energy needs. In the modern world, buildings account for approximately 40% of energy consumption. This therefore makes buildings a crucial focus area in the efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
By making the worlds building energy efficient, massive savings can be made to both energy costs and CO2 emissions.
