Decorative electrical wiring accessories, audio and lighting control manufacturer Hamilton Litestat has received RIBA approval on its new seminar: ‘Putting You in Control.’The interactive seminar, which has been created by Hamilton’s in-house team of experts and accredited by RIBA, focuses on the environments and uses for lighting controls, applications for lighting systems and an introduction to multi-room audio distribution. RIBA has assessed that the seminar fits into the core curriculum of its CPD (continuing professional development) scheme, which means that chartered RIBA architects can now use the seminar towards their annual core curriculum requirement.

As part of the RIBA CPD Providers Network, Hamilton will be able to take direct bookings for the seminar from architects and other construction industry professionals. The presentation will be delivered by Hamilton’s in-house wiring accessory and control system experts, who will be available to visit workplaces throughout the UK to give the presentation. Alternatively, Hamilton can also provide space for seminars if required, including at The Building Centre in London and at one of its manufacturing bases in Bristol.

Hamilton has over 40 years’ experience manufacturing largely British-made electrical wiring accessories and lighting control systems. It currently supplies a range of controls from simple dimmers to the sophisticated scene-setting options found in its Mercury lighting and multi-room audio systems.

“Saving energy and making buildings smarter and more intuitive is such a huge focus at the moment that we thought it would be useful to create a practical, interactive presentation on how lighting and audio controls can contribute to this field,” said Ian Hamilton, managing director of Hamilton Litestat. “We’re very pleased to have been accredited by RIBA, especially within the core CPD curriculum, and would encourage anyone who is interested in improving their understanding and earning credits towards their CPD to get in touch.”
