Kawneer products are futuristic at Salford Quays
Curtain walling, windows and doors by architectural aluminium systems supplier Kawneer have helped to bring a futuristic appearance to Salford Quays.
The leading architectural aluminium systems company has introduced "Approved Document L 2006 - Its Impact on Glazed Aluminium Facades" to help specifiers understand the revisions and their impact on new and existing buildings, and the surrounding issues.
The presentation discusses the implications of climate change, the drivers for change, the changes themselves and how they pertain to windows, doors and curtain walling in new and existing dwellings or buildings.
And while it does clarify the new regulations' radical new approach, with a focus on CO2 emissions via air leakage, it also emphasises the opportunities that now exist for greater design flexibility and increased emphasis on ensuring standards are met in practice.
Like the "Aluminium Windows - Sustainability and Specification" and "Curtain Wall Classification - Design and Testing" CPDs before it, this latest, Document L CPD conforms to RIBA's strict best practice guidelines.
Kawneer has brought its 100 years of expertise to bear again to offer a CPD that is worth two CPD points to participants, with certificates issued on successful completion.
