CPD 07 2026: Delivering co-ordinated BIM – how to improve collaboration, data and compliance
Sponsored by Vectorworks, this module explores how better project set-up, co-ordination and data management can help deliver BIM projects more reliably, efficiently – and successfully
CPD 06 2026: Retrofitting rainscreen cladding with insulation
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module explains how rainscreen cladding systems work, and the benefits of retrofitting rainscreen systems and insulation to extend the life of existing buildings. It also sets out best practice for specification and installation systems such as heat pumps. Retrofitted insulation can also improve resilience to the ...
CPD 05 2026: Creating “healthy” indoor environments – policy and practice
Sponsored by STEICO, this module looks at how to ensure retrofits and new-builds deliver “healthy” indoor enviroments. It then focuses in detail on how wood fibre insulation can help create indoor spaces that are sustainably focused and participate in safeguarding occupant health
CPD 04 2026: Fire safety for roofs and rooftop solar
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module explores the regulatory context and functional fire performance of roofs, highlighting the influence of specification decisions and looking at the fire safety implications when flat roofs are used as amenity space and to house photovoltaics
CPD 03 2026: Fire safety regulations and responsibilities
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module explains the regulatory framework on fire safety, clarifies the responsibilities of different design and construction roles, and examines how material performance, compartmentation and fire stopping can work together to limit risk
CPD 02 2026: Understanding embodied carbon, whole-life carbon and EPDs
This module, sponsored by Kingspan Insulated Panels, explains how embodied carbon is calculated and how environmental product declarations can support whole-life carbon assessment. It also highlights issues to be aware of when using EPDs
CPD 01 2026: Effective specification of insulation
Sponsored by SOPREMA, this module examines the common gap between as-designed and as-built thermal efficiency, asking how insulation can be key to bridging this gap and looking more broadly at the move from a culture of tick-box compliance to evidence-based performance
CPD 25 2025: Mastering contract modifications – managing variations and scope changes in construction projects
This CPD module – sponsored by Informa Connect Academy and adapted from its Contracts Management Certificate course – looks at key strategies for successfully managing modifications, variations and scope changes in construction contracts
CPD 24 2025: Navigating the Building Safety Act
Sponsored by wienerberger, this module looks at the Building Safety Act and the responsibilities it places on designers, contractors and clients. We look too at how the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI), building information modelling (BIM) and manufacturer support can enable confident specification within the new building safety regime
