This CPD aims to delve into the products and systems that lie behind the rainscreen facade of buildings and to identify the elements that need to be considered when creating buildings that are safe, healthy, energy-efficient, and sustainable.
We examine common high efficiency rainscreen facade systems with a specific focus on the ‘Through Wall’ that sits behind the external façade. We explore the choices that can influence the system’s design and its thermal, fire safety, and acoustic performance.
There are multiple choices when it comes to the selection of products used in external walls. This CPD will guide you through the impacts those choices can have on your project and will assist you in meeting the performance and compliance challenges facing the modern built environment.
This CPD includes essential guidance on the Building Safety Act and Gateway 2 requirements, helping architects navigate compliance with the evolving regulatory landscape.
