RIBA – Pitched Roof Design Considerations: Energy, Moisture & Air Permeability

Aimed at architects, specifiers and contractors, attendees will receive technical advice from A. Proctor Group technical experts, providing the latest guidance on British and European Standards, compliance with Building Regulations, and learning on how to maximise performance and avoid potential failures.

Seminars are available as an in-person seminar provided within practice or as in-depth Online Learning material to support individuals with their Continuing Professional Development.

This CPD gives an overview of pitched roof design considerations and regulations in the UK and Ireland, along with discussing the type of construction membranes used as pitched roof underlays and the effect their performance has on design. It also discusses the implications of hygrothermal focused roof design on the overall building energy performance. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:

  • Roof types outlined in BS5250:2021 Code of Practice
  • Different roof types and associated hygrothermal strategies
  • Pitched roof underlay types
  • The effects of membrane properties on design requirements
  • Factors affecting pitched roof moisture control

The A Proctor Groups team of construction professionals are available to deliver a range of educational CPD Seminars in person or via an online meeting, at a time and date that fits your schedule. There is a live Q&A session after the presentation. Visit www.proctorgroup.com/riba-cpd-seminars for more information or to book the CPD.
