Neuroarchitecture Session Two | Designing for Light: Synchronizing the Organism & Environment

Description

Join us for the second session of the Neuroarchitecture talk series, “Lighting: Synchronizing the Organism & Environment,” presented by Architect Francois Nortjé (Director, Osmond Lange Architects & Planners).

This session explores the critical role of light in aligning human biology with the built environment. From circadian rhythms to cognitive performance, lighting is more than illumination, it is a fundamental driver of human health, behaviour, and perception.

Through the lens of neuroarchitecture, this talk unpacks how natural and artificial lighting conditions influence mood, productivity, and overall wellbeing. It challenges conventional approaches to lighting design and introduces evidence-based strategies that reconnect the human organism with its environmental context.

As architects and designers, we don’t just control light, we shape biological experience.

This session invites a deeper understanding of how thoughtful lighting design can create spaces that are more responsive, restorative, and human centred.

SANS 10400 XA 2Nnd Edition (2021) Fenestration Workshop

Description

This fully updated course will be presented by Peter Wyness, who has presented SANS 10400-XA courses since 2011. The event will include Excel templates for fenestration calculations, plus all the other parts of the Standard, which will be for office use as well as for use during the presentation.

This event is open to all but is primarily intended for delegates who have not previously attended a course by Mr Wyness, or who have been unsuccessful in completing the exercises required.

Completing the course will reward the delegate with a Certificate of Competency.

THE NEW STANDARDS NOW APPLY

YOUR PREVIOUS CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCE WILL NO

REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED

GIfA would like to invite you to attend a workshop on

SANS 10400 – XA 2ND Edition (2021)

12 June 2026 Presented by Peter Wyness

 SANS 10400-XA (2021) became law in November 2021.

This is a revision that, at first sight, seems to offer a very much easier

route to compliance than the 2011 edition. But on closer examination, it

is a lot more complicated than it looks!

The course will give a full explanation of the various elements of the

Standard and will provide the SABS tables required to complete the

exercises. The presentation will include comprehensive Excel templates which will

lead the architectural professionals through the complicated fenestration

specification procedure.

This is a full-day educational course on this Standard, presented as a

one-day 1.0 CPD in Category 1, an accredited event. It will therefore not be necessary for the delegate to buy SANS 10400-XA before attending the course, but it is beneficial to have it handy.

Registered professionals can download the regulations via the SACAP website via your profile

Important:

 Course material will be forwarded to delegates 2-3 days before the event.

Make sure that you have

everything listed in place and ready for you to use on the day!

Links will be forwarded to delegates 1-2 DAYS before the event.

A deemed to be competent certificate will be issued to all who have completed the course and passed the test.

Unlike face-to-face lectures, this online event requires a fair amount of

preparation.

Without the preparation, you will not be able to complete the course, so

please read the course material carefully, and make sure that you have

everything listed in place and ready for you to use on the day! Course

material will be forwarded to delegates 2-3 days before the event.

If you are

not able to have available a second computer, a split-screen ability, or

second monitor, one that can do Excel, or

are not happy doing Excel calculations. Please note that there is

course material enabling you to use your calculator.
