Actis is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its RIBA-approved CPD, titled “Addressing the performance gap with reflective insulation”.
Launched on the cusp of 2014 and 2015, Actis said the CPD is designed to help construction professionals combat thermal bridging is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
Since its launch, the CPD has become RIBA-approved and been updated to reflect changes to Parts L and O in the run up to the Future Homes Standard.
The core programme now includes additional information about thermal modelling and new reflective insulation technologies, as well as construction details and airtightness.
The hour-long training session is available online or face-to-face free of charge. It provides detailed advice on how to reduce thermal bridging and achieve optimal energy efficiency.
Harsha Mistry, Actis technical manager, said: “Energy efficiency standards should always be based on reducing the need for energy first and in particular limiting the heat loss through thermal elements – that is through achieving excellent U-values, reducing thermal bridging and improving airtightness – the fabric first principle.”
