A window that maximises ventilation while minimising the risk of self harming has been developed for hospitals by leading architectural aluminium systems supplier Kawneer.
The CPD details the life cycle of aluminium - how it is mined and processed, how much of the raw material is available, how land is regenerated, the material's sustainability and the recycling process and the huge industry that has grown up around it.
It also advises on the many sustainable solutions for the building envelope available using aluminium and the different technologies it can assimilate, such as photovoltaics which can be directly integrated into the structure or skin of the building through the use of curtain walling, roof tops, glazed slopes and sunshades.
The one-hour CPD is the fifth RIBA-approved CPD available from Kawneer.
Like its predecessors, this latest CPD conforms to RIBA's strict best practice guidelines with certificates issued on successful completion. Request free introductory details about products from Kawneer UK ...
