Hochiki Europe has announced the availability of three Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. The Emergency Lighting Standards & Design Considerations course provides an overview of what is required when dealing with emergency lighting systems. It examines the Industry Committee for Emergency Lighting (ICEL) registrations, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as well as relevant standards. False Alarm Reduction in Detection Systems offers delegates an insight into the problems caused by false alarms and how to avoid them. It looks at the standards involved, the measures taken by manufacturers to reduce false alarms, and how to select the right device for the area. Finally, Understanding the Selection, Spacing and Siting of Detectors provides essential information on the updated BS5839 Part 1:2002 (Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings).

With the UK photovoltaic market set to grow following the introduction of the Government’s Feed In Tariff (FIT) in April, Mitsubishi Electric has produced a free, CPD- Accredited Guide to the technology that explores the issues around solar power and highlights the rules of thumb necessary for specifying and installing these systems. “Oil and gas prices continue to rise, so using solar power for our buildings is becoming an increasingly viable financial alternative,” explains Perry Jackson, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Electric’s Photovoltaic Division. Building integrated photovoltaic systems can provide clean, renewable power, reducing electricity bills for the end-user as well as cutting CO2 emissions. Solar power is also silent in operation and very reliable, requiring little planned maintenance. The guide looks at the different systems available from in-roof, on-roof, standing seam, facades, and flat roof systems, as well as exploring the tariffs and rates. Tel: 01707 282880

Renson, a European leader in ventilation and sun protection, has received a RIBA accreditation for its CPD about the Healthy Building Concept (HBC). This concept is a combination of background ventilation, night cooling and solar shading. Renson’s headquarters are situated in Waregem, Belgium and are built according to this concept. The building itself is a true working model of how to overcome the sick building syndrome, CO2
of air-conditioning. It is essential that both practical and aesthetical needs are combined in order to provide a healthy atmosphere to work in. The Healthy Building Concept also cuts in energy costs and is environmentally friendly. To learn more about HBC, please do not hesitate to contact our Maidstone office to request a CPD.

Triton Chemicals’ new RIBA approved CPD seminar - ‘New Build Basement Waterproofing’- focuses on the specific requirements of waterproofing in new build, below ground structures. Incorporating the requirements of the recently revised Code of Practice BS 8102 (2009) it covers pre-build design considerations, how each type of waterproofing protection works and the benefits and disadvantages of each type. Triton’s original CPD seminar – ‘Waterproofing Existing Basements’ has also been updated and covers the use of similar methods of waterproofing and how they should be specified in refurbishment works.

Guidance on the “Design opportunities in composite rainscreen technology” is now available to specifiers and construction industry professionals in a RIBA-approved CPD from global cladding manufacturer Steni. The hour-long presentation defines composite materials, specifically fibre reinforced polymers (FRP), and talks specifiers through the environmental issues, fixing options, material properties, manufacturing process, and textures, colours and shapes, giving more than a dozen stunning reference projects. Steni’s CPD reveals how composites were developed to be lightweight but strong and corrosion-resistant materials through their use in high-performance markets such as aerospace, marine and automotive. And in this era of environmental awareness, it explains how products made from FRP materials offer significant environmental benefits because they address many problems concerning emission of volatile organic compounds, energy consumption and toxicity from manufacture.
