Climate Resilience and Biodiversity in New Housing

This webinar, presented by John Day, Tom Henman and Roseanna Bloxham from the NHBC Foundation will review some recent research and published guidance, looking at the risk factors posed to new housing from climate change and how these can be mitigated, giving building engineers the tools to consider embodied carbon within the project’s foundations.

Why Ventilation must be Independently
Commissioned by a Third Party

With buildings becoming more and more airtight, the ventilation installation industry has been exposed as not fit-for-purpose. Many new-build homes are woefully unventilated, even if the ventilation technically complies with the regulations. This webinar seeks to both inform and promote the use of independent 3rd party inspections of ventilation systems.

A Masterclass in Specifying Safe Design Principles: Smoke, Access, Fire & Escape

This RIBA-approved masterclass is aimed at providing a detailed understanding of safe realistic access solutions around a hatch, or when accessing areas within and externally around the building. It will also cover current regulations surrounding the use of natural smoke ventilation vents to be positioned on the roof, how they work, and design possibilities.

Plugging into the future - Electric vehicle charging and Part S

This webinar will be discussing the importance of Electric Vehicles, and its part to play in the UK's Net Zero goal by 2050. We will discuss the different types of electric vehicles and focus on electric vehicle charge points in the home, how they work, and the different types. We will then go into detail regarding the implementation of Part S in June 2022 which regards the infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles, and how this impacts housing developers and housing associations.

Building Inspector Registration

This Webinar will be presented by Richard Harral the Technical Director at CABE. With the introduction of the Building Safety Regulator, all Building Inspectors will need to register with the regulator. This presentation will cover the importance of building inspector registration, the processes available, and the requirements needed to become certified to inspect buildings.

Safe, Practical & Aesthetic Roof, Wall & Floor Access Solutions

Explores the key considerations when specifying safe, secure and functional roof, ceiling, wall and floor access solutions, ensuring the highest standards in fire performance and legal compliance without compromising on aesthetics.

Mitigating Ground Heave, Ground Gases & Contaminants

Overview of challenges associated with ground heave, ground gases, and introduces lightweight EPS fill for varied void forming project applications. The CPD follows the path of what the challenges are, how the industry views these, and satisfying the challenge with various product solutions supported by datasheets and relevant guidance. The presentation lasts around 50 minutes with a question-and-answer session at the end.

Energy Targets & Accounting for Embodied Carbon

This webinar explores RIBA Climate Challenge, energy targets, and accounting for embodied carbon

Proposed Construction Products Competence (CPC) Standard

As part of the work of the Competence Steering Group, CPA has published a white paper with proposals of a construction products competence standard that will impact how the entire built environment identifies and demonstrates construction products competence. The webinar will look at the context of why this standard is necessary, what the standard that the white paper describes, and how it will be used.

Waterproofing Basements to BS 8102:2022 – Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water Ingress

This webinar will cover the standards that govern the waterproofing industry and provide key updates from the previous standard BS 8102:2009. It will also provide an overview of water table classification, grades of waterproofing protection, and typical waterproofing failures, including how waterproofing systems are specified for below ground environments in both new build and existing structures.
