Structural Thermal Break Solutions: Improving Efficiency, Safety, and Compliance

Description

This RIBA-certified CPD explores how structural thermal breaks can significantly enhance building performance by reducing thermal bridging at critical connection points.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the principles behind structural thermal breaks, their role in improving energy efficiency, and their impact on mitigating condensation risk and heat loss.

The session examines common structural scenarios, design considerations, and compliance requirements under current building regulations and industry standards. Through real-world examples and best-practice guidance, architects and specifiers will learn how to find reliable, cost-effective solutions that optimise structural integrity while supporting sustainable, safe, and high-performance building design.
