Designing and building it
From fabrics to concrete, and access systems to waterproofing, RIBA’s Core Curriculum subject ‘Designing and building it’ covers the broadest range of topics, but represents here a veritable tombola of CPD goodies. Well worth a good rummage.
‘How to Specify Contract Upholstery Fabrics’ is a synopsis of key information to help in the specification process of contract fabrics for seating and vertical surface applications. It is designed to help the A&D community understand the complex technical attributes of fabric, such as composition, flammability, durability and fabric maintenance.

Based on the natural and efficient principle of thermal radiation, a radiant heating panel warms objects and people within the room, rather than heating the air. The objects and people, in turn, warm the surrounding air to create a pleasant indoor climate with uniform temperature distribution. This radiant heating and cooling seminar examines the technology further, and the benefits such systems can offer.
Driven by technological advance, Zehnder has a portfolio of heating, cooling and ventilation products designed specifically to create a comfortable and healthy indoor climate within any building type, regardless of size. Its range consists of ceiling-mounted heating and cooling panels which replicate the radiant effect of the sun, bespoke made-to-measure radiators and trench heating plus heat recovery and ventilation systems.
