For specifiers involved in the design of school buildings, natural ventilation specialist Passivent offers a CPD seminar covering the imminent changes to the Department for Education’s Building Bulletin BB101. The new ‘Guidelines on ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in schools’ will see a number of key changes to the way air quality and thermal comfort are managed within school build- ings. The new document will replace the current 2006 edition and will have significant impact on ventilation design strategies and system choices. As a member of the BB101 advisory group, Passivent is ideally placed to provide guidance on the changes and how to achieve future compli- ance. Its recently updated CPD entitled ‘Natural Ventilation in Schools & Commercial Buildings’ will include the key changes to BB101 and provide advice on the range of ventilation strategies available to enable specifiers to determine the correct strategy at the early design stage of a project. The CPD will also explain the association between BB101 and relevant Building Regulations as well as the importance of compu- tational modelling to ensure a robust ventilation strategy. The CPD is free of charge and can be held at the client’s offices. To take advantage of the CPD, please contact Passivent at
