CPD: Airtight Membrane Systems
A Proctor Group
This CPD covers the importance of limiting air leakage in buildings with a particular emphasis on the types and functions of construction membranes and their implications on building energy performance. It also provides an overview of relevant legislation and best practice, and discussion of internal and external air barrier solutions.
Topics covered in this CPD:
• Construction Membranes Types and Functions
• Airtightness Guidance & Legislation
• Influence of Airtightness on Energy Performance
• Effect of Airtightness Compared to Fabric Insulation
• Locations of Air Barrier Layers
