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.
In a time of an ever-growing climate crisis, soaring heating costs, more stringent energy efficiency regulations secondary glazing has never been more relevant. It is being used more and more frequently to insulate existing buildings and is by far the best way of providing noise insulation. Secondary glazing installation is a more sustainable option than replacement of primary windows. The embodied carbon in the existing windows is retained and there is no carbon cost associated with removing and sorting materials for recycling or landfill. This RIBA approved CPD seminar will leave those attending, confident in the ability to create a good specification when detailing secondary glazing into a project; to raise thermal efficiency, provide acoustic insulation or additional security in traditional, listed or new buildings. Testing standards and performance levels which can be achieved will be covered, as well as the more technical aspects such as fixing details and other design considerations.
This CPD presentation is designed to guide architects, specifiers, and contractors through the benefits of using modern, factory-produced lime render systems. By challenging the common misconception that these materials are inferior to traditional site-prepared mixes, this session will highlight how contemporary additives, rigorous quality control and consistency have advanced lime render to meet the demands of modern construction.
We will explore hydrated and hydraulic limes and their applications, substrates old and new along with modern and historic applications.
The finishes required to maintain the permeability of the overall lime render build up will also be explored, looking into standards on the various of paint finishes.
We shall also look at the sustainability of lime from the quarry to the finished product.
