Futureproof façades: Specifying low-carbon rainscreens that perform as designed

On demand

Overview


As the UK pushes towards its net zero goals, the construction industry is feeling the effects of change. Operational carbon requirements have been tightened, standards are due to rise again next year, and further regulations are on the horizon.

Building designs face unprecedented scrutiny and architects are under increasing pressure to deliver specifications that translate into real-world, measurable performance.

But there’s still a recognised gap between how buildings are designed and the performance they deliver once built. Until that gap is closed, efforts towards carbon reduction will be compromised.

This webinar will shine a light on rainscreen specification and the often-overlooked practices that impact real world thermal performance and carbon reduction.

Key discussion points will include:

  • Closing the performance gap to achieve energy efficiency
  • Identifying genuinely low-carbon products
  • The ‘low hanging fruit’ for whole-life carbon reduction
  • Designing with real world challenges in mind
