This CPD promotes the sustainability benefits achieved using natural daylight as the primary source of illumination and explores the options available in materials choice to ensure a low embodied carbon solution for GRP rooflights in the industrial sector.

We’ll look at what makes a home healthy, the synergistic roles of daylight and ventilation in regulating the indoor climate, evolution of Passivhaus into Active House, and present case studies for delivering private and social housing projects that are healthy, sustainable and affordable.

This CPD will feature: The importance of airtightness and its contribution to thermal improvement; Using air and vapour control layers and vapour permeable underlays with suitable ancillaries to improve airtightness; Regulations and standards – Part L and the future standard for homes and buildings; Design considerations and buildability; The importance of training, education and collaboration.

This free training is intended for anyone who is involved in specifying, designing or installing domestic water heating systems. It will teach you the basic principles of heat pump technology, how they work, what factors to consider when choosing the right system for the application and what options are available on the market today. You’ll learn the key specification and design considerations for heat pump systems and their components, and why they’re set to become an important part of the future of UK homes’ heating mix and Government’s decarbonisation plans on a journey towards achieving Net Zero.

This CPD explores how rainwater harvesting for both domestic and commercial purposes can help solve a future water crisis. We will look at what systems are available in the UK and the benefits of each.
