RIBA CPD - Air Leakage and Fire Performance in Facade Systems

This CPD aims to provide an overview of UK and Irish building regulations relating to the compliance of construction membranes, with respect to air leakage and reaction to fire. It will cover adjacent issues of moisture control and hygrothermal assessment, and the implications of air leakage strategies on both energy efficiency and 'as designed' vs 'as-built' performance. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:

• Heat, Air and Moisture movement in building and relevant building regulations

• Hygrothermal Assessments, Dynamic vs Steady State methods

• Mechanisms and effects of air leakage on building envelopes

• Performance and location of membranes as air barriers in facade applications

• Fire test methods, classifications and BR135

• The relationships between hygrothermal and fire performance criteria and their implications

RIBA CPD - Pitched Roof Design Considerations: Energy, Moisture & Air Permeability

This CPD from the A. Proctor Group gives an overview of pitched roof design considerations and regulations in the UK and Ireland, along with discussing the type of construction membranes used as pitched roof underlays and the effect their performance has on design. It also discusses the implications of hygrothermal focused roof design on the overall building energy performance.

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

• Roof types outlined in BS5250:2021 Code of Practice

• Different roof types and associated hygrothermal strategies

• Pitched roof underlay types

• The effects of membrane properties on design requirements

• Factors affecting pitched roof moisture control
