Practice
Openings Quality Program
A published practice standard for independent openings specification, accreditation of firms against it, and third-party review of the openings package before it goes to bid.
Open
Programs built around the specification.
Available today
Each program has a defined buyer and a defined audience.
Design professionals draw on the education and the open sections. Member manufacturers bring the product expertise behind them, and the alliance carries that expertise to the people who specify.
Sustainability & Transparency
Baseline reviews, quarterly guidance and transparency marketing so environmental claims hold up in specifications and project reviews.
Continuing Education
Accredited live online CEU sessions for design teams, course development and hosting for members, and a podcast in production.
Guide Specifications
Open specification sections available today, and full guide spec development delivered through our spec writer members.
AI Crawler Audits
A per-page test of what AI assistants can read on a manufacturer site, a buyer-style question run, and a prioritized fix list.
In development
The next program puts a standard and a review at its center.
Every program in development points the same direction: an independent, product-neutral reference for the full opening system, and the standards, training and review that make it usable on a project.
Also in production
