Acoustical ceiling boards and panel systems aims to advise architects and others that there are alternatives to providing balanced acoustics without having to resort to modular ceilings. Whether the terminology is "seamless" "jointless" or "monolithic" these terms all relate to current thinking when looking at internal linings on building design, without compromising acoustics.This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This CPD explains the differences between the different insulation systems you can choose from for the walls of a building, with the focus on external wall insulation systems. Topics covered include: • Why insulate externally and the benefits of using EWIS • How EWIS can meet and exceed Part L of the Building Regulations • Specification criteria and design considerations to ensure the cladding system meets local conditions • Insulation fixings and reinforcing coats • Finish options available, including materials, colour and texture. By the end of this seminar, you will be able to:-Understand the difference between an external wall insulation system and cavity wall insulation,-Consider specification criteria to in relation to wind load, reaction to fire and climate-Know certification and testing of external wall insulation systems-Have an overview of insulation choice, fire barriers and the importance of detailing-Have an overview of the variety of finish options available for an external wall insulation system

This CPD explains the history of where the rainscreen technology originates from, including an overview of what a rainscreen cladding system is. The focus of this CPD relates to Glass Rainscreen systems covering the following topics:- The composite glass panel and rainscreen system build-up, including formats and weights for the glass panel- Designing with glass - colour, print options, finishes and textures- Control of grids and panels to aid the visual interpretation of the building grid- Moisture protection benefits of rainscreen cladding- Thermal performance benefits of rainscreen cladding- Glass Rainscreen safety relating to fire, wind loads, impact and blast performance.

Sustainability by Design: Facade Systems is a CPD presentation encompassing various sustainability themes. This educational session delves into sustainable business practices, such as establishing robust CO2 reduction targets, while also highlighting the sustainable advantages of facade systems like External Wall Insulation and Rainscreen Cladding. It explores ways to balance aesthetic design needs with sustainability goals. A central part of many companies business models is the role their products play in climate protection. By the end of this CPD delegates ought to be able to:1. Know how to to implement sustainable business practices relating to management and design.2. Set comprehensive sustainability targets, clear objectives and adopt a holistic approach.3. Understand how the impacts the building sector has on climate change and how to help reduce emissions through energy savings.4. Better understand what embodied carbon is, how to measure it and how to create buildings and infrastructure that allows for a sustainable future.5. Know the benefits of a circular economy and how to maximise resource efficiency.
