CPD FOCUS; APPOINTMENTS & COMPANY NEWS CPD FOCUS ROCKWOOL® LAUNCHES CPD FOR RETROFITTING FACADE INSULATION
SPECIFYING HARDWOOD TIMBER DOORSETS
To comply with the government’s Future Homes Standard, all homes and businesses will have to meet strict energy efficiency targets. ROCKWOOL, the UK’s leading stone wool insulation manufacturer, has launched the new ‘Retrofitting Rainscreen Insulation and Cladding’ CPD (Continuing Professional Development) module to support building contractors and specifiers with advice on how to increase the energy efficiency of existing buildings by retrofitting non-combustible insulation. Reducing emissions and energy use are important aims for the construction industry in the face of climate change and rising energy costs. Constructing new, energy efficient buildings will help reduce energy consumption in the future but can also create high carbon emissions that will take years to neutralise. The new CPD module will explain the benefits of retrofitting insulation and clarify why retrofitting can be better than demolishing and rebuilding from new. Course participants will learn about the mechanism of action and the advantages of a ventilated rainscreen system. The module will also cover key planning and design considerations in retrofit projects, including thermal performance and acoustics. Also included in the CPD will be an introduction to ROCKWOOL’s range of fire-resistant stone wool insulation products that are suitable for retrofitting facades. Learn more about the benefits of retrofitting rainscreen systems, register to attend the ROCKWOOL CPD session by visiting the website. 01656 868 490
