Inclusive Design: Designing for Dementia and Ageing

Inclusive design is crucial for addressing the needs of individuals with Dementia, a degenerative disease that impacts their lifestyles and causes both physical and mental limitations. This CPD will give you the tools to design by understanding the context, atmosphere, and sensorial elements that affect their wellbeing, enhancing their quality of life.

Warm Roof

This course explores the purpose of insulating roofs and the principles behind warm roof and cold roof applications. We dive into the various substrates, membranes and roof coverings used in warm roof constructions, and the appropriate Total R-value requirements.

Specifying the Complete Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) & Plasterboard System

Covers the use of Cross laminated timber products in lightweight building code-compliant Wall and Floor/Ceiling systems for multi-residential buildings and other building segments. CLT is an engineered wood product that consists of multiple layers of timber planks stacked in alternating directions and bonded together with structural adhesives. Prefabricated, lightweight and harvested from sustainably managed forests, CLT walls enable fast construction with strength, stability and durability.

Embodied Carbon: How to identify and minimise the impact of materials without compromising system performance

How to identify and minimise the environmental impact of building materials such as plasterboard and insulation without compromising building system performance. Covers the importance of reducing embodied carbon alongside operational carbon; the role of material selection in reducing embodied carbon, and the role of life cycle analysis in providing specifiers with the information needed to accurately assess products during selection.

Maximising Building Performance: The Essential Role of Insulation in IEQ: Introduction to Insulation

This course provides architects with fundamental knowledge about the critical relationship between Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and insulation. It explores how insulation influences and enhances IEQ, focusing on the essential factors that contribute to creating healthier indoor environments. Participants will gain insights into the key aspects of insulation, including different categories, relevant standards, and applications, as well as other relevant building performance benefits. This CPD session equips architects with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions when specifying insulation, ensuring optimal design outcomes for occupant wellbeing and comfort.
