Seminar
Air Leakage & Fire Performance In Facade Systems (Revision 2)
An overview of UK and Irish building regulation relating to the compliance of construction membranes with respect to air leakage and reaction to fire. Also covers adjacent issues of moisture control and hygrothermal assessment, and the implications of air leakage strategies on both energy efficiency and "as designed" vs "as built" performance.

This CPD will cover:
1. Heat, Air and Moisture movement in building and relevant building regulations.
2. Hygrothermal Assessments, Dynamic vs Steady State methods.
3. Mechanisms and effects of air leakage on building envelopes.
4. Performance and location of membranes as air barriers in facade applications.
5. Reaction to fire testing and BR135.

By the end of this CPD seminar delegates should have:
1. An understanding of design considerations relating to hygrothermal and energy performance.
2. A recognition of relevant legislation and guidance.
3. An understanding of air leakage drivers and mitigation through membrane usage.
4. An awareness of fire test methods and classifications.
5. An appreciation of the relationships between hygrothermal and fire performance criteria and their implications.
