This CPD aims to provide an overview of UK and Irish building regulations relating to the compliance of construction membranes, with respect to air leakage and reaction to fire. It will cover adjacent issues of moisture control and hygrothermal assessment, and the implications of air leakage strategies on both energy efficiency and 'as designed' vs 'as-built' performance. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
Heat, Air and Moisture movement in building and relevant building regulations
Hygrothermal Assessments, Dynamic vs Steady State methods
Mechanisms and effects of air leakage on building envelopes
Performance and location of membranes as air barriers in facade applications
Fire test methods, classifications and BR135
The relationships between hygrothermal and fire performance criteria and their implications
