URSA - URSA UK – URSA LAUNCHES NEW CPD ‘HOW GLASS MINERAL WOOL INSULATION IS SHAPING THE NET ZERO BUILT ENVIRONMENT’

Award-winning insulation specialist URSA, a leading European manufacturer for over 70 years and part of the Etex Group, has launched a new CPD module specifically aimed at architects and specifiers on the benefits of glass mineral wool in driving toward net zero in the built environment.

The free CPD presentation covers a wide range of aspects on the topic, including:

The construction industry’s environmental impact – an overview of how the industry is contributing to climate change, the importance of acting now and the objectives set out to transform the built environment
The role of insulation – looking at the concept of circularity, whole life carbon cycle analysis and how glass mineral wool contributes to energy efficiency
UK Regulations – the relevant regulations and certifications in place, including Code for Construction Product information (CCPI) assessment
Specification best practice – covering sustainable benefits, typical applications, the performance gap and the various specification resources available
Case studies – examples of glass mineral wool in recent low energy projects

The CPD draws on the wide-ranging experience of URSA as an insulation manufacturer across Europe and in the UK specifically, working in conjunction with rainscreen cladding systems and related applications.

Commenting, Michael Robinson of URSA said: “This latest CPD has been designed by our team of experts to give both architects and specifiers invaluable insights into the abilities of glass mineral wool in helping them meet and address the challenges of working towards a net zero built environment.

“We see transforming the industry as one of the key topics in construction today, and glass mineral wool’s excellent sustainability credentials – in manufacture by using up to 73% recycled content, in use by reducing energy usage and at the end of its useful life by being fully recyclable – are able to help today’s developers in doing just that.

“As a company and as part of the Etex Group, URSA is fully committed to creating products and advancing technology to put our planet at the centre of everything we do, producing insulation for a better tomorrow.”
