12 HSW hours per annual renewal (measured against the prior calendar year), all HSW, including 1 hour barrier-free/accessibility and 1 hour sustainable/energy-efficient design (both must be earned fresh each year). Up to 12 other hours may carry over (not the 1+1). Self-certify + audit; keep log 5 years.
