buildings. With careful design and specification, up to 40 credits of the total 109 available for the building can be achieved. The CPD explains where these credits can be obtained and the methodology required. To book the ‘Designing Sustainable Fenestration Systems’ CPD, please contact Senior Arcjitectural Systems directly or visit the company website.


Senior Architectural Systems are also now integrated into the NBS Product Specification Service under Section L10. Allowing Specifiers to select registered manufacturer’s products, NBS Plus offers a quick and effective way of completing specification clauses using Senior’s extensive range of Fenestration Systems.


The wide range of Windows, Doors and Curtain Wall Systems from Senior’s are available in various material profiles which include, High Performance thermally broken Aluminium, ‘Hybrid’ - an Aluminium Timber Composite Profile System, and Senior’s latest ‘Fibre’ system, these profiles are produced using the latest Glass Fibre Pultrusion Technology.


Senior Architectural Systems are pleased to announce the launch of their latest CPD titled ‘Designing Sustainable Fenestration Systems’. This CPD has just received RIBA approval and is now available nationally through their specification support team.


Many current CPD’s cover the selection process of generic products and services used in the Construction Sector, however, Senior’s CPD explains the correct selection process of various elements during the Specification Phase, including Standards, Legislation, Design Issues and Material Choice. The importance of getting the process correct will ensure that building owners obtain a cost effective build programme with long term added value.


The term ‘Sustainability’ is discussed and explained, as so often it is given a very wide general definition; so to is the growing use of the term for materials that have ‘Cradle to Cradle’ life cycles. Aluminium, for example, can be recycled almost infinitely with long cycles between uses. Today this high level of material recyclability has led to the term ‘Urban Mines’ being adopted to explain the local resource of various materials in use which can now be recycled into new products.


The ‘Designing Sustainable Fenestration Systems’ CPD leads appropriately into the growing use of the BREEAM Certification for new


Senior Architectural Aluminium Profiles incorporate the latest high performance Polyamide Thermal Breaks which, once combined with high performance glazed units, can achieve ‘A’ ratings for both Commercial and Residential use according to the latest copy of the Green Guide.


Senior Hybrid Systems Profiles offer high performance aluminium to the outside, with the environmentally focused benefits of 100% PEFC accredited timber to the inside. Both profiles are separated with a toggle thermal break which provides the combined profile with both humidity and temperature stabilisation between the two materials.


Senior Fibre Systems is the latest material of choice offering a Window, Door or Curtain Wall Profile which does not require thermal breaks. The environmentally friendly and efficient ‘Fibre’ Profile offers extensive life expectancy which can be easily repairable on site should the profile become scratched or damaged.


All Senior’s systems will also be available on the new ‘NBS Create’, a collaboration specification tool which has been designed to work closely with BIM content. For Specifiers not currently using NBS, further information on Senior Architectural Systems can be found on the company’s website at www.seniorarchitectural.co.uk or information can be requested by phoning Head Office in Doncaster on 01709 772600.
