In this CPD PHT Patron Ecological Building Systems will discuss why Airtightness is critical when creating a low energy building. The benefits are significant and numerous, including structural durability and longevity, reduced energy consumption, improved levels of comfort and a healthy environment for occupants. Since we spend around 90% of our time indoors and most building failures are caused by moisture related issues, the need for active moisture management, lifetime building durability and a healthy living environment become more crucial than ever. This is covered in detail in their Airtightness and Moisture Vapour Management CPD.

This training is aimed at professionals from all disciplines of the building design and construction industry who are interested in taking an ecological and sustainable fabric first approach to creating better buildings. This is an open CPD with participants joining from different organisations.

This CPD is a 1-hour stand-alone CPD providing 1 point towards maintaining your professional standard.
