This CPD, sponsored by Avonite, will outline the design of solid surface facade systems, their installation and maintenance, and examine regulatory requirements
CPD 2 2019: Harmonising design collaboration using BIM 360 Design
This CPD, sponsored by Autodesk, will consider how BIM 360 Design is overcoming the challenges design teams face
CPD 1 2019: Welsh slate
This CPD, sponsored by Welsh SlateTM, will look at how slate can be used in construction, how it should be installed for different purposes and the regulatory standards that need to be followed by those working with the material
CPD 25 2018: Insight into insulation
This CPD, sponsored by Kingspan Insulation, outlines insulation options, the way that the performance of insulation is measured and how to ensure the correct thickness is installed to maximise energy efficiency, comfort and space for building users
CPD 24 2018: Mitigating risk in an increasingly digitalised construction industry
Construction projects rely on information, from the outset of a scheme to its conclusion. This CPD, sponsored by Newforma, examine the steps organisations can take to ensure the information they need is at hand

This CPD, sponsored by Glazing Vision, looks at how rooflights can be installed to maximise light, heat retention in cold weather and ventilation in the summer
CPD 18 2018: Changing Nature Of Risk
This CPD will outline the sorts of risks different buildings and spaces face and outline a range of potential technologies that could reduce those risks for people going about their daily lives.
CPD 17 2018: Steel and offsite construction
Steel has a key role to play in the government’s drive for greater use of offsite construction techniques. This CPD will look at the structural steelwork construction process, with a focus on established offsite processes and practices
CPD 16 2018: The 'low risk' approach to facades on high-rise buildings
In the light of recent industry discussions, this CPD, sponsored by Rockwool, will look at what the industry needs to understand in terms of a product’s combustibility rating and how clients, designers and contractors can achieve ‘lower-risk’ options in facades
CPD 15 2018: Ventilation
Ventilation systems in commercial buildings are vital to remove pollutants from the air and control temperature and humidity. This CPD, sponsored by Daikin, looks at how ventilation systems can be used to improve air quality
CPD 14 2018: Intumescent coatings
Intumescent coatings are often used as fire protection for steelwork in busy public locations. This guide, sponsored by Jotun, looks at how film intumescent products react with heat and flames and how they are applied, along with regulation and certification
CPD 13 2018: Daylighting
