The CPD explores evolving trends in walling system design and its relationship with sustainable construction methods. The net energy savings realised within off-site construction and sustainable material choices are now well understood, and these savings are increasingly required by stringent local building and energy codes. Further considerations around fire safety will also be discussed within the session, as the need for Class A rated construction materials continues to grow in light of recent changes within Building Regulation. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- Of advanced walling systems
- How you can apply the principals of 'designing out waste' to help deliver sustainable outcomes
- A better understanding of regulations around fire safety
- How interior walls are constructed
