Timber window specialist Mumford & Wood is now able to offer a RIBA-Assessed CPD entitled ‘Growing our Low-Carbon Economy’ which is relevant to the current CPD syllabus. It qualifies as a Core Curriculum subject and for general awareness in the Knowledge level. This CPD can be accessed on www.mumfordwood.com and is only available on line.

Content looks at the many benefits that can be derived from the expansion of wood-based products in construction and how this development can help to grow the UK’s low-carbon economy. With the forest and timber industry playing a key part of environmental and industrial heritage it has a vital role in a low-carbon future.

Tom Barfield, sales director at Mumford & Wood, said "The sector employs 150,000 people in wood related trades. Wood has the lowest embodied carbon of any mainstream building material and it is important that we all recognise timber as one of the safest and most economical forms of carbon capture.” For further information about award-winning Conservation™ products by Mumford & Wood please call 01621 818155, or make an appointment to visit the new showroom facilities at the Tiptree, Essex HQ, or at The Building Centre, London.
