Designing for Australia’s harsh and varied climate requires more than material selection—it demands an understanding of how materials perform under real environmental conditions.
This CPD provides architects and building professionals with insight into how multicell polycarbonate can be effectively specified and detailed to respond to climate, improve thermal performance, manage UV exposure, and enhance daylighting.
It equips participants with the knowledge to design resilient, energy-efficient, and compliant buildings by addressing key factors such as orientation, thermal movement, moisture control, and total system performance.
