Masonry wall methods of building haven’t changed in decades but are expected to fit into the new Future Building requirements of providing insulation as well as being able to resist rain penetration. Modern ways of building an external wall by using Monolithic Construction Methods not only provide the required insulation standards but don’t require cavities, additional insulation and are easier to build.

This CIBSE accredited CPD introduces stored hot water, the driving factors in why we use it and why these are increasingly more important. The CPD gives you the tools to make informed decisions over system specification enabling you to optimise a buildings performance.

Modern Methods of Construction require modern methods of insulation. The session explores the commercial, practical and performance benefits you can achieve using a ‘SuperROOF’ solution.
