18 CPD FOCUS PUTTING PEDESTRIAN SAFETY FIRST
The latest CPD courses, seminars and documents for architects
UNLOCK THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN A NEW CPD FROM MODULYSS
GET THE “LOW DOWN” ON THE PERFECT OFFICE ENVIRONMENT
Since it was introduced in 2013 the European safety standard EN 16005 remains a key standard to be followed to ensure pedestrian safety at automatic doors. Considered to be a more onerous standard it defines the responsibilities of all those in the construction industry from manufacturer to end user and including architects and contractors. GEZE UK has revised and updated its popular and informative RIBA-approved ‘CPD Safeguarding Pedestrians from Accidents at Power Operated Doorsets’.
The 40-minute seminar looks at the European standard EN 16005 in detail and explains the responsibilities of all involved to ensure safety and compliance at all stages of construction. It explains everything from activation distances for escape routes and non-escape routes; the danger points of automatic sliding, swing and revolving doors and how safety features such as finger guards and protection leaves can be used to reduce the risk of injury; and looks at revolving doors which are potentially the most dangerous and which received the most significant changes.
It is intended for Chartered members of RIBA but is also suitable for facilities managers, property managers and contractors.
Offering architects and specifiers invaluable advice and guidance, which contributes to their continuing professional development, this updated training seminar gives a better
understanding of the standards and regulations surrounding pedestrian safety at automatic doors. The seminar is included in RIBA’s core curriculum: Design, Construction and Technology; Health, Safety and Wellbeing; and Legal, Regulatory and Statutory Compliance for the General Awareness knowledge level. It can be presented in person or virtually via a variety of online platforms and at a time to suit, usually lunchtime but breakfast seminars or afternoon sessions can be accommodated.

National Specification Manager Richard Richardson- Derry said: “Automatic doors are a machine and just like any machine they can cause harm if not used properly, however we cannot expect pedestrians who may not be so familiar with them to be aware of the potential danger, therefore those of us in the industry need to take responsibility and ensure they are safe for all to use.”
“This CPD explains how to do just that and that if we all play our part we can limit or even eliminate accidents at pedestrian doors.”
Other presentations offered by GEZE UK, include Specifying, Installing and Maintaining Ironmongery for Fire Doors; Designing Effective Natural Heat and Smoke Ventilation; and Removing Barriers to Access. 01543 443000

modulyss has introduced a new RIBA accredited CPD seminar, ‘The Circular Economy’. ‘The Circular Economy’ is a new RIBA accredited CPD seminar from modulyss that explores what circularity means, how it is likely to evolve and how soft floor coverings can contribute to it. The seminar takes a deep dive into circularity and how it can help us to reduce our impact on the environment to protect our planet for future generations through sustainable specifications. Cutting through the hype of product sustainability claims and identifying what they mean, it promises revealing and informative insight into sustainability within commercial interiors and floor coverings. Jose Hamp, sales director at modulyss said: “There’s a lot of talk around the circular economy but with many different approaches too, it’s important for us to facilitate creating specifications that take steps in the right direction. Through the facts presented in our Circular Economy CPD we’re bringing clarity to this process and making it easy to implement meaningful changes to specifications that reduce our impact on the environment.” Since its foundation in 2010, modulyss has combined creativity, functionality and sustainability in all of its carpet tile collections. The result is a collection of modular flooring that matches the distinctive character of a space, while providing commercial interiors with innovative, sustainable floors. This includes 28 Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM
Gold carpet
tiles, which are all CO2 neutral through the CO2RE initiative. 0800 096 2702

AET Flexible Space has developed a new CPD presentation to help architects deliver on all the key drivers that affect commercial building design. The educational module focuses on the concept of underfloor air conditioning- UfAC- widely employed across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Asia), especially in other countries with similar climates to the UK. It covers the evolution of the system over the past 30+ years, how best to apply the principles of UfAC to the design of a building, both refurbishment and new build, and the numerous benefits of “going under floor” can bring. Explains Karl Strauss, head of sales at AET Flexible Space said: “Due to the pandemic, office design is in a state of flux. Spaces increasingly need to adapt to change. Indoor air quality and employee health & wellbeing are rising up the list of priorities. Regulations too are placing higher demands on building services, to deliver better performance, for less energy. The pandemic has shown we CAN adapt to change, and find better ways of doing things, a sentiment that is echoed throughout the CPD, when it comes to designing air conditioning systems. Ultimately, static, conventional air conditioning solutions will struggle to meet the needs of the occupier. It’s time the industry changes the way it thinks about how designing office spaces to deliver a sustainable answer for everyone involved- designer, developer, owner, occupier.” AET Flexible Space has continued to develop and evolve the original system, to make best use of advances in product design, materials, Regulations and market forces. 01342 310400
