Waterproofing
As evidenced here, one of the most popular topics among architects searching for CPD materials, and one of the best catered for in terms of variety and depth of expertise. Here are nine – mostly one-hour – seminars.
ICB’s fully-accredited CPD seminar covers: roof build up options and their pros and cons, installation methods, single ply waterproofing, detailing, profile options, roof gardens, solar roofing, and now roof edge protection. The seminar lasts for approximately one hour and, if delivered over the lunchtime period, can include a buffet lunch.
ICB promotes the idea of improving the environment by making good sustainable use of the roof space. This may be through: adding a green roof construction to encourage local biodiversity, help alleviate the urban heat effect, and cut down on energy usage within the building; the installation of roof-mounted solar PV to produce clean renewable energy to help reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the effects that has on climate change; or simply by waterproofing and insulating the roof to a high standard.
This presentation will provide an insight into the successful techniques that are now being used in the waterproofing industry including: an in depth technical introduction to designing a below ground waterproofing system conforming to BS8102:2009; how modern technology has produced new systems of dealing with leaking/damp structures, in both retrofit and new build scenarios; and how ‘Type C’ method of construction, incorporating a drained cavity, helps the specifier to comply with their responsibilities regarding design criteria.
