The CPD will cover all aspects relating to asset management in terms of the protection of people, property and environment in the event of a fire. It discusses how fire is created, current legislation, product testing procedures and the means of reducing the risk of damage and harm by the correct specification and use of, decorative flame-retardant coatings. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of: - The role and importance of flame-retardant decorative coatings in passive fire protection - The creation and growth of fire and how different paints react to fire - The current building regulations and British Standards relating to Fire Safety - How flame retardant and intumescent coatings work - Testing flame-retardant and intumescent paints - Specifying the right fire-protective coating This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This seminar aims to provide an understanding of the importance of maintenance painting and extending life cycles. Topics covered include recognising when painting should be carried out, the importance of preparation, how to identify the different substrates and how these impact on paint specification, and common problems for different environments. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of: - Why maintenance painting is necessary - How paints and coatings are tested, and what standards and approvals you’ll need to think about when choosing a product - Specifying the right coating to extend maintenance cycles

Sustainability is a key factor in the design of any building, from waste management and wellbeing factors to designing for durability and material sourcing; specifiers must develop and manage sustainability strategies to minimise environmental impact of construction projects now and in the future. With a focus on paint systems, this CPD explores the role of paint in sustainable design, providing guidance on making sustainable and durable specification choices to protect and beautify the spaces we live and work in; in line with the requirements of green building assessment methods including BREEAM and LEED. By the end of the presentation you will have a greater understanding of: - Sustainable design principles - Green building rating system requirements - The role of coatings in sustainable outcomes - Indoor Air Quality and Material Life Cycle Analysis - Developing fit for purpose durable specifications

The seminar aims to provide specifiers with an understanding of colour including: - The science of colour and how we see it - Colour psychology and how colour can affect built environments - Communicating colour introducing colour referencing systems - Colour in practice

The CPD from PPG Architectural Coatings will explore the key aspects of Wellbeing design. We will cover it's application to architecture & design, the legal and regulatory requirements for inclusive design and the requirements of voluntary assessment schemes including WELL.
