The new Actis<\/a> CPD module, certified by the Construction CPD Certification Service, looks at how installers can ensure their insulation and membrane use complies with building regulations<\/h2>\n

The new Actis CPD module has just been unveiled.<\/p>\n

While its focus is on compliance with Part L<\/a> \u2013 conservation of fuel and power, the Actis CPD module also examines in detail how all four Actis Hybrid<\/a> products comply with Parts B (fire safety), C (site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture), D (toxic substances) and E (resistance to the passage of sound).<\/p>\n

It examines how the blanket style nature of insulation Hybris, insulating vapour control layer HControl Hybrid and insulating breather membranes Boost R Hybrid and Boost R Hybrid Roof all help minimise or eliminate thermal bridging. It also looks at how they achieve superb U-values without risk of condensation.<\/p>\n

It also flags up tools which specifiers can use to ensure they make the correct choices to guarantee compliance.<\/p>\n

The first group to undertake the much-awaited second CPD was a building control team in Cornwall who collectively said it answered every single question they had on the topic.<\/p>\n

Elements of the CPD will become a regular feature in the LABC’s monthly roadshows which take place at various locations across England and Wales.<\/p>\n

Actis CPD module sessions<\/h3>\n

The sessions can also be booked en bloc by local building authorities or architectural practices or as part of a wider construction event.<\/p>\n

The format involves a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15 minute Q and A and a chance to inspect insulation materials first hand and talk to technical experts about compliance and thermal bridging issues.<\/p>\n

The free events are organised at venues and times to suit the audience.<\/p>\n

For more information or to book contact Actis at\u00a0technical@insulation-actis.com<\/a>, on 01249 462888 or via https:\/\/www.insulation-actis.com\/contact.html<\/a><\/p>\n
