Innovative façade solutions using External Wall Insulation
This CPD explains the differences between the different insulation systems you can choose from for the walls of a building, with the focus on external wall insulation systems. Topics covered include: • Why insulate externally and the benefits of using EWIS • How EWIS can meet and exceed Part L of the Building Regulations • Specification criteria and design considerations to ensure the cladding system meets local conditions • Insulation fixings and reinforcing coats • Finish options available, including materials, colour and texture.
By the end of this seminar, you will be able to:
-Understand the difference between an external wall insulation system and cavity wall insulation,
-Consider specification criteria to in relation to wind load, reaction to fire and climate
-Know certification and testing of external wall insulation systems
-Have an overview of insulation choice, fire barriers and the importance of detailing
-Have an overview of the variety of finish options available for an external wall insulation system

NLU_Innovative Facade Solutions using External Wall Insulation
This CPD seminar explains how external wall systems offer a different method of thermally cladding a building whilst enabling complete flexibility of building design. Topics covered include the definition of an external wall insultation (EWI) system, the benefits of insulating externally, important criteria to consider when specifying and aspects to be considered during the design of the scheme. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- How to identify an EWI system by its component parts
- The benefits of an EWI system in comparison to alternative insulation technologies available
- How to match the appropriate solution to the building specification requirement
- Detailing an EWI solution

Sustainability by Design: Facade Systems
Sustainability by Design: Facade systems, is a CPD Presentation encompassing various sustainability themes. This educational session delves into sustainable business practices, such as establishing robust CO2 reduction targets, while also highlighting the sustainable advantages of facade systems like External Wall Insulation and Rainscreen Cladding. It explores ways to balance aesthetic design needs with sustainability goals.

A central part of many companies business models is the role their products play in climate protection and quality preservation.

This presentation is developed and will be delivered by Sto Ltd, the UK subsidiary of the Sto Group, a leading global manufacturer of products and systems for both exterior and interior walls and ceilings.

By the end of this CPD delegates ought to be able to:

1. Know how to to implement sustainable business practices relating to management and design.
2. Set comprehensive sustainability targets, clear objectives and adopt a holistic approach.
3. Understand how the impacts the building sector has on climate change and how to help reduce emissions through energy savings.
4. Better understand what embodied carbon is, how to measure it and how to create buildings and infrastructure that allows for a sustainable future.
5. Know the benefits of a circular economy and how to maximise resource efficiency.
