In an era where construction professionals are continually challenged to keep pace with regulatory demands, sustainability goals, and technological innovations, Fassa Bortolo’s commitment to education stands out. Their trio of independently certified CPD (Continuing Professional Development) seminars - The Specifier’s Guide to Render Solutions, The Specifier’s Guide to External Wall Insulation (EWI), and The Benefits of Lime Render and Plaster - delivers a comprehensive knowledge base for architects, specifiers, and building professionals.
Each CPD is crafted with clarity and technical precision, offering actionable insights into key building envelope solutions. The Specifier’s Guide to Render Solutions explores the wide range of finishes and systems available, helping professionals make informed choices based on aesthetics, performance, and environmental conditions. It demystifies render types, application methods, and compatibility with various substrates, promoting best practice in design and specification.
Equally vital is the session on External Wall Insulation, which delves into the principles of thermal performance, condensation control, and regulatory compliance. As energy efficiency becomes increasingly critical, understanding the correct specification and installation of EWI systems is paramount. This CPD provides detailed guidance on U-value calculations, detailing junctions, and ensuring long-term performance - all while aligning with the demands of the Future Homes Standard.
The third CPD, The Benefits of Lime Render and Plaster, is a nod to the resurgence of traditional materials in modern building practices. Highlighting lime’s breathability, flexibility, and natural properties, the session makes a compelling case for its use in both heritage and sustainable new-build projects. Participants gain an appreciation for lime's environmental credentials and its role in improving indoor air quality and moisture regulation.
