A CPD webinar providing expert, evidence-based insights on fabric-first design strategies for optimised building performance in new build and retrofit projects in residential and commercial sectors. Presentations plus audience Q&A.
- Understanding the principles of a fabric first approach and its role in achieving energy-efficient buildings
- Understanding current regulations’ impact on delivering high performance building envelopes, from insulation to doors and windows, lintels and other key fabric elements, and exploring standards compliance and sustainability certification
- Addressing retrofit challenges – from Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards to weighing up External Wall versus Internal Wall Insulation, and when to prioritise floor insulation
- Exploring the latest innovations and best practices in building fabric performance in new build and retrofit projects
- Accreditation and third-party verification of designs and solutions to establish performance and reduce the performance gap
- How to maximise footprint while delivering high performance, rigorously detailed insulation
- Assessing the impact of building fabric on energy consumption, occupant comfort, and carbon reduction targets, including via project case studies
