Designing For the Australian Climate Using Multicell Polycarbonate​

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.

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. Applying design principles to create Dementia-friendly environments can significantly improve safety, orientation, memory, comfort and behaviour, ultimately resulting in livable and suitable spaces for those affected by Dementia.
