CPD - Roof Glazing: more than just glass
[edit] Roof Glazing: more than just glass
[edit] VELUX Commercial is happy to announce that a new continuous personal development (CPD) seminar, Roof Glazing: more than just glass, has received accreditation by the Royal Institute of British Architects RIBA.
Roof Glazing: more than just glass is structured around five topics, which will each give architects and specifiers a greater appreciation for a range of glazing materials, as well as solutions that fall under the term ‘roof glazing’.
CPD learning outcomes:
- What is meant by the term roof glazing
- The type of roof glazing solutions available
- Advantages and disadvantages of different roof glazing solutions
- The impact of regulations and standards on product choice
- How commercial sectors benefit from different roof glazing solutions
At conclusion of the seminar, architects and specifiers will have more confidence and comprehension as to what roof glazing is, and its various roles within the commercial building sector. Those in attendance will also understand what the main ‘glazing’ material choices are, as well as the pros and cons of different solutions.
Identifying different glazing options helps to comply with industry standards and regulations, while meeting the unique needs of various building types. How best to deploy glazing materials will also be explored in the seminar, as will the positive impact rooflights can have on people and the planet.
- RIBA Core Curriculum: 10 – Design, construction and technology.
- Knowledge level: General Awareness
- The seminar can be delivered online or in person, as a group or individual.
