“This course is ideal for architects, designers, builders and remodelers who are looking for detailed information on how to use color selection as part of the design and selling process,” says Smith, chief color maven and president of Sensational Color. “This step-by-step online course provides fast and easy tips for incorporating and coordinating exterior colors on a project.”
In addition to the new color course, DaVinci also offers the course “The Design Advantages of Synthetic Roofing Solutions,” free online. Also a one-hour course, this session is worth one Sustainable Design Credit from AIA and other organizations. The course helps professionals understand the green features of virgin-engineered polymer synthetic roofing materials along with being able to compare the advantages and disadvantages of traditional roofing materials versus synthetic products.
