How to Specify Glass for Facades
This CPD provides an overview of various aspects and regulatory requirements in order to correctly specify glass for facades. You will learn in detail not only about the design considerations like aesthetics and privacy, but also performance indicators like thermal comfort and daylight as well. Safety and security including fire protection, sustainability and energy saving smart technologies are also other important topics discussed in this CPD. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- Which aspects to consider when to specify glass for façades
- Daylight performance, glare, privacy and aesthetic aspects of glass
- Thermal comfort, acoustics, safety and security, and fire resistance with glass
- Smart glass technologies for energy efficient and sustainable buildings
- Norms and regulations for different specification aspects.

This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.
