This CPD aims to help architects:

- Understand the major factors that make healthcare architecture different from other building types, and the implications of these differences on green building.
- Address the relationship between “green” and “healthy” as it pertains to healthcare facilities.
- Determine driving factors other than environmental sustainability that are relevant to healthcare facility design.
- Understand the differing needs between patients, families, administrators and staff.
- Understand the main contributing factors to indoor environmental quality in healthcare buildings, and why these might not be the same as for other building types.
- Determine how healthcare facilities are uniquely affected by lighting design, especially for aging and other visually challenged populations.
- Describe best practices in acoustical design for healthcare facilities.
- Apply concepts associated with the biophilia hypothesis to healthcare.
- Understand the major contributors to air quality in hospitals.
- Determine the differences between air quality in healthcare facilities and other building types.

Recent dramatic technological developments in data capture are causing revolutionary changes in the measured survey industry. High definition 3D laser scanners, used for both internal and external data capture, are more accurate, faster, and less intrusive resulting in significant cost and time savings. The comprehensive data captured is driving the change towards the delivery of 3D information, which allows users to interact with, and visualise data in ways not possible before.

Featured CPD Material

Approved Document L has been revised with effect from October 2010. This CPD introduces these changes and how the performance of buildings is assessed. The CPD then assesses the effect of changing different elements of the building envelope on the building CO2 emissions and then introduces alternatives to the 2010 Notional Building. Building integrated low/zero carbon energy systems which are most suitbale for use with pre-finished steel are explained and how they are included into SBEM claculations. A preview of what Part L will look like later in 2013 is also provided.
Type:  Seminar
This seminar examines the growth of healthcare projects, how anti-bacterial coatings work, how they are tested and perform, and how they integrate into a normal cleaning schedule.
Type:  Seminar
This seminar aims to cover:

- What we are trying to achieve with small element roofing
- How the performance requirement of technical handbooks influence various aspects of design
- What Ecohomes and BREEAM are and how they fit into the picture
- What other legislation and standards apply
Type:  Seminar
The material explains the advantages and benefits of using technical porcelain on all applications, and how technical porcelain is a much stronger and more versatile product than porcelains or ceramics, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, external and internal facades, high traffic walways, commercial flooring, commercial coverings, floors subject to heavy loads, design concepts maintenance free, extremely hard-wearing.
