Change the way we insulate

Description

Improving the level of insulation of a property is often cited as being the easiest way to reduce the levels of emissions and we do not disagree but will demonstrate that the reduction in emissions should not be seen as the only key measure. This CPD explores the wider impact of improving the insulation envelope and the opportunity that exists to change the way we insulate. Maintaining a focus on traditional insulation solutions will not meet the increasing standards without having a wider impact on the project nor be the most economically viable option. Through worked examples and details of how to complete an effective solutions this CPD demonstrates how multilayer foil insulation can make a significant difference.

By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:

- How to recognise multilayer foil insulation solutions have significant advantages of traditional insulation solutions.

- The advantages of formulating an insulation solution during the initial design phase.

- Multilayer foils are effective solutions in retrofit as well as new build projects.

- How effectiveness is linked to the quality of the installation.

- The key elements to successful installations.
