Topic 1: Waterproofing in Multi Story Construction
Overview: Structural concrete has strength, is a robust, durable, commonly designed and adopted building material. However, to survive long term, provide amenity and service to any occupied or functional structure, concrete must be designed, manufactured, and managed correctly. Concrete must also be protected or “Waterproofed”.

Topic 1: Fire Safety when using Timber Cladding
Overview:
Timber cladding is an increasingly popular choice for Australian commercial and domestic buildings due to its striking natural aesthetic, durability and low environmental impact. However the strong fire-resistant qualities of timber are often unknown or poorly understood.
This presentation clarifies combustible and non-combustible materials, the science of how timber reacts in a fire, and the building codes in relation to timber cladding and compliance.

Topic 2: Building Sustainably with Timber
Overview: If sustainably sourced, timber is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally-friendly building materials currently available, being a natural carbon sink and truly renewable. With an overwhelming global shift towards environmentally-focused sustainable designs, more and more specifiers are turning towards timber as a building material for its sustainability, aesthetic qualities, ease of transport and speed of construction.

Topic 4: The Pathways To Compliance
Overview:
Now more than ever, it is vital for today’s building industry professionals to learn the Pathways to NCC Compliance.
During this formal CPD workshop, you will come to understand the six methods of documentary evidence as required to comply with the BCA/NCC, understand the difference between each method, and where they may be used.
CPD Point: This course is valued at 1 Formal CPD.
Topic 5: NEW Circularity in the Built Environment
Overview:
Globally, construction is responsible for an estimated third of the world’s overall waste, and up to 40% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.If we want to reduce the quantity of waste and emissions generated during the construction process, we need to take a closer look at the life cycle of the products we build with. It is becoming clearer that a transition to a circular economy is necessary to avert environmental disaster and mitigate the impact of climate change. The building and construction industry is crucial to this shift.CPD Point: This course is valued at 1 Formal CPD.
Topic 1: Facades of the Future: Looking Beyond Compliance, Prioritising Best Practices & Sustainable Design
Overview: In this CPD presentation, we look at the state of the façade market – where we have come from and where we are today. We explore Australian and global fire testing methods, their role in evaluating façade designs and systems, and discuss how looking beyond compliance is critical when designing safe buildings and futureproofing your specifications. With the increase of extreme weather conditions and climate change, we also investigate weatherability performance testing methods for common weather events such as hailstorms and severe wind.

Topic 2: Designing Ceiling Systems for Infrastructure Projects – the importance of a design-lead approach CPD
Overview:Specifying and designing ceiling systems for infrastructure projects is a complex and specialised capability. In this CPD presentation we will guide you through the process of successfully delivering large scale infrastructure projects. We’ll review case studies in transport, education and sports and explore examples of the capability and limitations of modern metal ceiling systems, sharing how a design lead approach is key (or critical) for turning imaginative designs into reality.

CPD Point: This course is valued at 1 Formal CPD point.
Topic 3: Modern Ceiling Systems and Healthcare CPD
Overview: With a focus on designing for healing, we take a look at how modern ceiling systems impact our health and wellbeing. We will share how the design of modern ceilings spaces has evolved and explore how approaches to healthcare ceiling design have progressed, integrating elements such as natural light and flexible approaches to today’s modern healthcare buildings.

Topic: Drinking water as a sustainability issue
Overview: The rise in the popularity of bottled water over the past couple of decades has come at a price. Beyond its expense, producing these products has several environmental drawbacks, including the carbon emissions associated with its production, the pollution it causes, its association with microplastics, and more. In this context, installing water filtration systems in our homes, offices, and other places of work represents a more sustainable option.
Learning outcomes:
Specifiers should realise that not all water filtration systems are the same. They should understand their potential environmental impacts, as well as the best way to assess these impacts. They need to be aware of the various filtration options available, the emergence of sustainable technologies in this market, and the roles that lifecycle assessment and third-party certification play in identifying genuinely sustainable products.
We will explain in this CPD that the architects and designers who choose and install water filtration systems need to understand that, in 2024, drinking water supply should rightly be considered a sustainable design issue.
