Available formats: seminar presentation
Part of the RIBA Core Curriculum? Yes
Listed on the CIAT CPD Register? No

This seminar gives an overview of the insulation solutions used with brick and block cavity wall construction. It will assist with understanding of the following topics:

• The evolution of cavity wall construction and how thermal targets have driven the development of insulation products, including rigid board solutions
• Traditional insulation solutions for cavity walls
• The differences between rigid partial-fill and rigid full-fill solutions
• Issues to consider in design, specification and construction to ensure the best performance from rigid full fill solutions

2) U-value Calculations and Condensation Risk

Available formats: seminar presentation and CPD article
Part of the RIBA Core Curriculum? Yes
Listed on the CIAT CPD Register? Yes

This seminar looks at the fundamentals of heat transfer, insulation, U-value calculations and condensation risk. It aims to improve the confidence of the audience in designing and specifying insulation solutions, and understanding what factors can influence typical constructions and their ability to achieve the intended performance.

• Overview of heat transfer and insulation properties
• Thermal performance of materials and calculation of R-values and U-values
• How and why condensation occurs
• Placement of vapour control layers and breather membranes to achieve best performance

3) Reducing the Performance Gap through Fabric First

Available formats: seminar presentation and CPD article
