RIBA-approved CPD.
A RIBA-approved CPD exploring aluminium glazing systems, from the evolution of thermal performance to understanding glass, aluminium and the role of thermal breaks within modern architectural glazing.
The session looks at how aluminium systems are specified, the impact they can have on a project, and the key principles architects should understand when considering glazing within their designs. Alongside technical insight, we explore how thoughtful specification can help turn architectural ideas into considered, long-lasting spaces shaped by light and glass.
About this CPD
What is a CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a structured learning session designed to help professionals develop their knowledge and stay informed about products, technologies and industry best practices.
Why do you need a CPD?
CPD sessions provide an efficient way to bring your team together and build their knowledge in a structured, informative environment. They offer the opportunity to explore a subject in greater depth, ask questions directly and gain practical knowledge that can be applied to future projects. Keeping knowledge current in a evolving industry.
What will you learn from us?
To develop a clear understanding of aluminium systems, their specifications and how they can impact the design and performance of your projects.
Topics covered.
01
The evolution of architectural glazing
An introduction to how glazing systems and thermal performance have developed, alongside the changing expectations placed on modern architectural glass.
02
Understanding glass and aluminium
A closer look at glass as a material, the role of aluminium within modern glazing systems and how the two work together within architectural applications.
03
Thermal performance
Understanding how aluminium systems manage heat transfer, why thermal breaks matter and the key performance considerations to be aware of when specifying glazing.
04
Specifying aluminium glazing systems
How system choice can influence design, performance and longevity, with practical considerations for translating architectural intent into well-resolved, light-filled spaces.
