Addressing the Performance Gap Using Reflective Insulation

Description

This CPD reflects on the issues causing the Performance Gap and discusses solutions on how to overcome this industry wide problem using reflective insulation systems. Topics covered include why buildings do not perform as predicted at the design stage, how the performance gap can be addressed, important criteria when selecting construction systems, trustworthy products and systems, and applied construction build ups and case studies. By the end of the seminar you should have a greater understanding of:

- How to evaluate and specify reflective insulation products

- Performance gap issues and how they can be overcome at different stages of a project

- How reflective insulation products work

- Construction details

- The architect's role in addressing the performance gap
