RIBA Core Curriculum: Climate
The following CPD materials fall within the ‘Climate – sustainable architecture’ RIBA Core Curriculum topic area.
This seminar explores the use of cellular glass insulation as a load-bearing structural element used throughout the building envelope: from roofs with vehicular access, floors with no compression under load, basement walls against earth and moisture, and reducing thermal bridging whilst bearing the weight of the build. Using building physics, this seminar aims to offer design solutions.
