NEW RIBA-APPROVED CPD FOR SPECIFYING RENDER FOR MMC SOLUTIONS
SPECIFYING HARDWOOD TIMBER DOORSETS
As Britain returns to the office post-pandemic, 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 focusses 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: “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.” The UfAC CPD can be booked by contacting AET Flexible Space. 01342 310400

Architects and specifiers can access a new CPD on selecting the correct render system for MMC solutions. The CPD, titled “Modern Render Systems for Framed Construction and Other MMC Solutions”, has been created by Saint-Gobain Weber to help specifiers understand what they should be looking for from a technical perspective to ensure the render systems they choose deliver the required performance. As well as covering fire safety and sustainability performance, the CPD provides an overview of common MMC options and the aesthetic considerations of these types of projects. It also details the practicalities of installing the render system as well as maintenance. Kelvin Green, senior product marketing manager, said: “Render is a popular finish and it’s important to understand the different options depending on the type of construction. With MMC being less carbon intensive, this CPD also explains how render makes a genuine contribution to sustainability goals as well as the health and well-being of the occupants of the building.” Weber’s commitment to training is widely recognised in the construction industry. This new CPD joins a growing library of resources available to help understand the benefits of the type of systems and solutions that Weber’s technical teams can deliver to specifiers.
