EQUITONE CPD Seminars: Gain Insight on Ventilated Facades, Industry Compliance, and Sustainable Building Practices

 

NEW! - CPD 3: Sustainable Building Practices and Fibre Cement Materials

This insightful CPD presentation delves into the principles of sustainability in construction and the role of fibre cement materials in promoting sustainable building practices.

During your CPD you will:

• Explain the principles of sustainability within the building industry
• Understand the concept of material circularity and its application in construction
• Demonstrate knowledge of Cradle to Cradle certification and its impact on material choices
• Recognise the criteria of the Green Star Buildings V1 rating system and how to achieve them
• Assess the impact of embodied carbon in building materials and strategies to mitigate it
• Learn the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 for sustainable construction

CPD 1: Ventilated Facades and Fibre Cement Materials 

Our engaging and informative CPD seminar covers the design, principles and benefits of specifying rainscreen facades.

During your CPD you will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of fibre cement and its history
• Understand the evolution of fibre cement as a facade material
• Identify the characteristics of a through-coloured fibre cement material
• Recognise a ventilated facade and understand its features and benefits 
• Discover the design possibilities of a fibre cement material

CPD 2:  Designing Ventilated Facades for Industry Compliance

A technical presentation that will equip you with NCC compliant solutions and provide insight into how industry concerns can be managed and prevented in the future. 

During your CPD you will:

• Understand why fibre cement meets the requirements and provisions of the NCC for non-combustible cladding
• Recognise the most prevalant contributors to building defects and their consequences
• Describe the features and benefits of a ventilated facade system
• Learn how to create energy efficient buildings using a ventilated facade
• Discover sustainable design practices using ventilated facade systems

Attendees will earn one CPD point and receive a certificate for each presentation.

Texture in Architecture

Texture in Architecture
Texture in Architecture

A thought-provoking CPD created in collaboration with materials and colour consultant Jim Biddulph and poet, broadcaster and honorary RIBA Fellow LionHeart. From nature to neuroscience, poetry to production, Texture in Architecture presents a multi-faceted overview of texture in architecture now, exploring historic milestones and related design disciplines to ask: where is texture in our built environments headed?

The CPD looks at:

  • investigating the complex psychology underpinning our perceptions
  • exploring the foundations of texture in natural systems
  • reviewing some important textural milestones in architectural history
  • the viewers approach to deploying texture in their own work
