This presentation looks at different types of flat roof and considers a range of projects from single storey extensions to schools. Waterproofing and the consequences when things go wrong are discussed as well as what to look for in a good contractor and tips on warranties.

An introduction to waste water heat recovery

This presentation provides delegates with an overview of waste water heat recovery technologies in both residential and commercial environments. With many WWHR systems being recognised by BRE in SAP they are a useful took in an assessors and engineers tool box when achieving carbon commitments. This presentation covers installation, benefits and offers the opportunity for discussion from delegates.

Premium Performance Phenolic Insulation

This CPD focuses on the benefits of phenolic insulation, specifically the Kingspan Kooltherm K100 Range, which has a thermal conductivity as low as 0.018 W/m2.K - the highest performing available rigid thermoset insulation. It looks at the different applications available and other design considerations, such as letting daylight in and internal space within a building.

Parts L & F - A Practical Guide to Compliance

This seminar looks at best practice approaches to compliance and also update delegates with the latest information on the new SAP2016.

The seminar examines the current Part L for both existing and new buildings. It looks at how the link between Parts L and F affects ventilation strategies for a range of building types and examines a range of different ventilation strategies - including passive, mechanical extract, MVHR and demand controlled - to examine the benefits and issues associated with each. Using a series of examples, the seminar looks at how to implement ventilation strategies for a range of building types and examines the issues that affect performance and how to address these in design and on site.
