Aspiring ironmongers receive globally recognised door hardware qualification

The next generation of architectural ironmongers is celebrating its Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) education results.

Exams were sat in 23 different countries by 355 learners. So far, 102 students have attained the Certificate in Architectural Hardware and 32 students have now completed the GAI Diploma this year.

The Guild’s education programme continues to grow overseas, with 49% of learners based outside the UK. There has been a particularly high number of learners in the UAE, China, India, Hong Kong and South Africa.

Rachel Tipton, manager of the GAI education programme, said:

“The GAI has been providing a unique education, qualification and CPD programme for people who work in and around the architectural ironmongery industry since 1961. It’s the only recognised programme in the world that leads to a qualification in architectural ironmongery to British and European standards, and with over 60 of these standards to get to grips with, gaining this qualification is something that all our students should be incredibly proud of. We look forward to celebrating with our newly qualified Diploma holders at this year’s Education Awards.”

The core of the education portfolio is separated into two qualifications. The Certificate in Architectural Hardware (CiAH) consists of two stages with 24 education modules covering everything an architectural ironmonger is required to know, supported with eight block assessments to test the students’ understanding.

Once learners have gained their CiAH, they can continue their studies to achieve the GAI Diploma. This stage focuses entirely on the skills and learning needed for scheduling the architectural ironmongery, electric hardware and key control for a project, and is of particular importance to those architectural ironmongers working on projects being built to UK and European standards across the globe. Once they have completed the diploma, they become a DipGAI, an industry recognised symbol of professionalism.

The 2018/19 education programme prospectus has been published on the GAI website, outlining the qualifications, course content and training support available. It also gives further information on becoming a RegAI through the Continued Professional Development (CPD) programme. The programme was revamped last year to make the process more flexible and give busy professionals more opportunity to gain CPD points.

Enrolments are now open until 31 December 2018.

[learner-stories]

Michael, 67 and a half, is a semi-retired architect and aspiring storyteller from Ireland. Here he shares his thoughts on learning, stories of his career, hobbies and challenges and his passion for storytelling.

“In 1854 John Henry Newman defined a "School of Universal Learning" a description which implies the assemblage of strangers from all parts in one spot; - from all parts; else, how will you find professors and students for every department of knowledge? It is a school of knowledge of every kind, consisting of teachers and learners from every quarter. A place for the communication and circulation of thought, through a wide extent of country.

This I read when I was 16 and I have always remembered it. When I discovered FutureLearn, maybe serendipity, synchronicity and syllogism kicked in (albeit 50 or so years afterwards)  

My career has taken me to work in offices in London and Dublin, for architects and development companies, for community groups, poverty alleviators, government departments, and after establishing an office in my own right, includes projects in housing, retail, mixed-use developments and a training centre for the Probation Service here in Ireland. 

My YouTube channel now has about 100, or so, of my videos include street performers, stained glass, country shows, visited countries. All taken on my trusty Samsung WB 250 F and edited in windows live movie maker. In 2012 also, I joined TripAdvisor and they tell me recently I've had 60,000 plus readers, TripAdvisor is a great reminder of some of the places I've travelled to, but I missed recording other places I visited earlier both on my own and with my family.

I have 'lectured’ in Hong Kong, Ireland and the UK, written off two cars when I first started driving and survived a TIA in Chicago in 2009 thanks to the exceptional expertise of the staff of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I have said ’never again’ on completion of my PADI diving certification in Malta, and I do not need to skydive or bungee jump.

I am very proud of our five children, (and three grandchildren) and the success they are making of their lives, and have great admiration for the care and dedication of their mother in bringing them into the world and looking after them (still).

I was born into Roman Catholicism, had ethics as subject in school, but I have always admired individuals who have arrived in some sort of a logical process at their religious convictions such as Newman and Chesterton, Irish Catholicism and mine is a bit of a curate's egg I have always followed a CPD path, and my current aspirations include publishing at least one book, making a longer film and support the pro-life cause here on its critical path to mid next year. I like the works of Teilhard de Chardin, Marshal McLuhan, Deepak Chopra and George Bernard Shaw, and I like his dictums:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him...The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself, therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.

So back to Newman. I end as I began; - a University is a place of concourse, whether students come from every quarter for every kind of knowledge. It is the place to which a thousand schools make contributions; in which the intellect may safely range and speculate, sure to find its equal in some antagonist activity, and its judge in the tribunal of truth. It is a place where an inquiry is pushed forward, and discoveries verified and perfected, and rashness rendered innocuous, and error exposed, by the collision of mind with mind, and knowledge with knowledge.'

Sounds very like FutureLearn to me and that's why, anytime I get the chance, I seek to complete a Futurelearn course. It is a most extraordinary facility, so well suited to the needs of our times (and times to come), it is a model, I think of where third level education will be for many, RPL is important, RFL is the way of the future

It would have been magic to have access to a facility like FutureLearn when I was younger.”

"Tier 3+" or "Tier 4-Ready" Data Centers?

This is usually found in some data center specifications: "Tier III+" or "Tier IV-Ready" *

Let's clarify: There is no such thing as "Tier III+" or "Tier IV-Ready" for large data centers. They are not granted by any organizations in data center / critical facilities like Uptime Institute or Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) - ANSI/TIA-942 **.

* The latest TIER IV-Ready Certification by the Uptime Institute is designed for modular data centers which enjoy the same level of reliability and resiliency that they have in their larger data centers.

** The term ‘Tier’ was used in the ANSI/TIA-942 Standard until the ANSI/TIA-942: March-2014 edition. In the March 2014 edition the term ‘Tier’ has been replaced by either ‘Rated’ or ‘Rating’.

Recap (1) More about Data Center Tier Levels; and (2) Data Center Tier Levels and Uptime

The Uptime Institute issues Tier Certificates (Constructed Facility and Design Documents) for data center infrastructure. When a data center is accredited as Tier III Constructed Facility, the infrastructure, at the time of the site visit and demonstrations, should be "Concurrently Maintainable" and N+1 (N means Utility Power) with 1 active + 1 alternate distribution paths (electrical power backbone) and 2 simultaneously active critical power distribution.

One of the major different between Tier III and Tier IV infrastructure is the requirement of Distribution Paths - Electrical Power Backbone. Tier IV facilities require 2N / 2N+1 which means 2 electrical power backbone should be simultaneously active. It is nearly double the infrastructure of Tier III.

Although the Uptime Institute Tier Standard or the TIA-942 Standard does not require dual feeds from different power companies to achieve Tier IV standard, is it worth to build a Tier IV data center in Hong Kong?

The situation is different. Electricity supply in Hong Kong is highly reliable, exceeding 99.999%. The two power companies, CLP and HK Electric have adequate capacity and backup in electricity generation and in the transmission and distribution networks, which assured robustness and reliability of supply. A number of high-tier data centers are being serves by two utility feeds from different substations of the same power company.

A Tier IV infrastructure is nearly double of the Tier III. Thus most of the large data centers in Hong Kong are usually Tier III but leave rooms / spaces for adding facilities and expansion if required in the future (ready / upgradable to Tier IV standard).

Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Training Program in Hong Kong

Data centers consume large amount of electricity but it still has opportunities to reduce energy use. However, significant knowledge, training, and skills are required to perform accurate data center energy assessments which are different from general energy audit for commercial and residential buildings.  

In order to accelerate energy savings, the data center industry and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) partnered to develop the Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Program. The DCEP training program certifies energy practitioners qualified to evaluate the energy status and efficiency opportunities in data centers.

With the approval and cooperation granted by the DCEP Program Administrator (PA) - ANCIS Incorporated, we are pleased to announced the 3-day DCEP Program (Generalist Level, 1-day; and Specialist Level, 2-day) is going to launch in Hong Kong during late-2017.

The DCEP course curriculum was updated in 2016 and formed collaboration with the industry to reinforce proven best practices and to introduce new tools and techniques in key areas such as IT equipment, air management, cooling systems, and electrical systems :-

Level 1 Practitioners ("Generalist", 1-day Training) will be expected to have a good understanding of 3 data center disciplines (HVAC - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, Electrical and IT-equipment) for providing broad recommendations based on the high-level DC Pro (Data Center Profiler) Tools.

Level 2 Practitioners ("HVAC-Specialist", 2-day Training) address HVAC energy opportunities using the in-depth Air Management Assessment Tool.

Successful candidates who complete the 3-day program and passe the exams will gain Data Center Practitioner (DCEP) status by listing their names and contact information on the website (datacenters.lbl.gov/dcep) as well as issuing certificates. (The acronym "DCEP" is for individual use only, it may not be used for organizations, companies, or firms.)

Critical Infrastructure and Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance

The Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance (BEEO) has come into full operation in Hong Kong since 21 September 2012. There are 3 key requirements of the Ordinance:-

(1) The developers or building owners of newly constructed buildings should ensure that the 4 key types of building services installation therein, namely, air-conditioning installation, lighting installation, electrical installation as well as lift and escalator installation, comply with the design standards of the Building Energy Code (BEC).

(2) The responsible persons (i.e. owners, tenants or occupiers etc.) in buildings should ensure that the 4 key types of building services installation therein comply with the design standards of the BEC when “ major retrofitting works ” are carried out.

(3) The owners of commercial buildings (including the commercial portions of composite buildings, e.g. shopping malls under residential storeys) should carry out energy audit for the 4 key types of central building services installation therein in accordance with the Energy Audit Code (EAC) every 10 years.

Mission-critical facilities and data centers are complex that are different from general buildings and require special design and operation knowledge and skill.

Developed by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the 3-day Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) credential program helps engineers to evaluate the energy status and efficiency opportunities in the critical facilities. It also works with engineers to comply with the energy efficiency ordinance anywhere.

Successful candidates who complete the program in 3 days and pass the exams will gain Data Center Practitioner (DCEP) status. Their names and contact information will be available on the official website (http://datacenters.lbl.gov/dcep) as well as the certificates.
