Staticworx Earns AIA Provider Accreditation, Offers Architects Education Credits on Anti-Static Flooring
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Watertown, MA—The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently announced it has accredited "Anti-Static Flooring: The Basics," a course developed by Dave Long, President & CEO of Staticworx, the largest manufacturer of anti-static flooring solutions in North America. Long, an educator of architects and other professionals in the flooring and electrostatic discharge (ESD) industries, designed this one-credit educational program to help architects understand the liabilities and technical details of ESD flooring.
"Architects are at a disadvantage if they don't receive correct information about flooring specifications, including the growing need for fault-tolerant, Class-0 solutions," said Long. "Without this knowledge, floors are often specified incorrectly, which can lead to explosions, interruptions in mission-critical operations, equipment failure, and other problems that have resulted in a $5 billion problem affecting manufacturing facilities and end-user environments."
Staticworx helps architects keep up with industry changes and understand the
need to install the right ESD flooring proactively, rather than after a problem
has occurred.
The course covers how anti-static flooring works, how to limit the risk of
electrostatic damage to sensitive electronics, how to analyze installation
environments to select the best flooring option, how to meet international
standards, and how to help companies qualify for LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) credits.
