This two-part course is especially for construction professionals involved in renovating existing buildings, and householders with the same technical knowledge as professionals. It's ideal for:
It’s a chance to update your existing knowledge and learn about building techniques and materials used to make properties more energy efficient and resilient to extreme weather like flooding.
This course is CPD accredited.
This course will give you with detailed knowledge on refurbishing and improving buildings to make them more sustainable, reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency.
It covers domestic and non-domestic buildings, and the main focus is on traditionally-built homes (e.g. solid-wall houses built before 1920).
The course will help you make decisions about materials to use for different types of properties, depending on the way they were built and their location.
These factors are particularly important for choosing the right types of insulation, render and pointing, for example, to provide clients with warm, damp-free homes.
Understanding the building fabric is key to upgrading it effectively. You’ll gain an understanding of the differences between modern construction and older buildings, the fundamentals of the behaviour of moisture in the different building types and the options for thermal improvement.
The course considers what these differences are and how current best practice treats them.
The course is at a Level 4, meaning that the content is similar in level to a module of a university bachelor’s degree.
This course consists of two evening sessions, on Wed 8 May and Tue 14 May, from 6pm to 9pm. Delegates should attend both sessions.
The course is priced at just £30, thanks to support from South Lakeland District Council and Kendal College. This subsidised price includes both evening sessions.
