Introducing the Benefits of an Automated Shading System
Climate change and global warming are increasingly impacting on the sustainability of the built environment and workplace productivity, forcing developers and specifiers to change the way they approach overheating in commercial buildings.

Automated shading systems can help mitigate this overheating, as well as impacting sustainability metrics and the overall efficiency and effectiveness of commercial indoor environments.

In this CPD we guide specifiers through the elements that can impact sustainability, we explain the benefits of automated shading systems, provide an overview of the numerous controlled systems available, and we go over points you need to consider when specifying automated shading systems.

Waverley are a family firm, established since 1979, with a wealth of expertise in the solar shading industry. We look forward to helping specifiers with this fresh approach to shading and the impact in can have on sustainability.

By the end of this CPD delegates ought to:

1. Understand how automation can impact sustainability.
2. Understand the benefits that automated shading systems can offer.
3. Know the types of smart shading systems that are available including open protocols.
4. Be aware of what considerations will need to be addressed when specifying automated shading systems.
5. Understand how automated smart shading can lower the carbon footprint and infrastructure costs of projects.

External Shading Systems
The new Part O building regulation is forcing architects, developers and specifiers to change the way they tackle overheating in new-build residential projects, and CIBSE's TM52 methodology for avoiding overheating is applicable to all building types.

Both Part O and TM52's objectives are to mitigate overheating; Part O in particular by making reasonable provision to limit unwanted solar gain and provide adequate means of removing heat from the indoor environment.

In this CPD we guide specifiers through the legislation, we explain the benefits of external solar shading, provide an overview of the types of external shading systems available, and we go over points you need to consider when specifying external shading systems.

Waverley are a family firm, established since 1979, with a wealth of expertise in the solar shading industry. We look forward to helping specifiers with this fresh approach to shading which has been used in Europe for many years but is relatively new to the UK market.

By the end of this CPD delegates should:
1. Understand the new legislation that now applies.
2. Understand the benefits that external shading can offer.
3. Know the types of external shading systems that are available.
4. Be aware of what considerations will need to be addressed when specifying external shading systems.
5. Understand how external and internal shading can work together to lower carbon footprint of projects.

Specifying Glazed Partitions
Glazed partitions, when specified correctly, can bring a transformative element to office workspaces and commercial buildings, allowing architects, designers, contractors and building managers to derive the most benefit for the users of these spaces.

This interactive seminar and webinar from SioSystems, part of the Waverley Group, provides an understanding on the different types of glazed partitions, what impacts performance and how to effectively specify partitioning systems.

Learning aims:
- An overview of acoustics
- How acoustics are tested and the impact on specification
- The different types of glass and their attributes
- The impact of DDA on specification
- Glass partitions and WELL certification

By the end of this CPD, delegates should:

1. Understand acoustic influences on performance requirements.
2. Understand where in a scheme to specify different glass types.
3. Understand how to comply with DDA requirements.
4. Understand how glazing is fire-rated and the importance of integrity and insulation.
5. Understand how glazed partitioning can influence WELL certification.
