Defining Sustainability: Materials, Systems and Carbon Impacts

This CPD presentation explores how sustainability considerations can be integrated into building design from the earliest project stages, with a focus on the relative importance of embodied environmental impacts. Participants will learn how to apply principles from building, environmental and social sciences to inform conceptual design decisions, assess key sustainability factors across a project’s lifecycle, and select materials, finishes and systems that optimise performance, environmental outcomes.

Fundamentals of Polycarbonate Building Materials and Compliance Issues

Polycarbonate is a high-performance building material, but its successful application depends on a clear understanding of its properties, system performance, and regulatory requirements.

This course provides architects and building professionals with an introduction to polycarbonate as a building material, including product types, material behaviour, and key performance characteristics.

It also outlines relevant National Construction Code compliance pathways, alongside sustainability and lifecycle considerations, equipping participants to confidently specify and apply polycarbonate systems for compliant, durable, and high-performing architectural outcomes.

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.
