Webinar: Air Leakage and Fire Performance in Facade Systems

14-08-2023

Register now to save your place for our forthcoming webinar "Air Leakage and Fire Performance in Facade Systems" which takes place on Friday, 25th of August at 10 AM

This RIBA-assessed webinar aims to provide an overview of UK and Irish building regulations relating to the compliance of construction membranes, with respect to air leakage and reaction to fire. It will cover adjacent issues of moisture control and hygrothermal assessment, and the implications of air leakage strategies on both energy efficiency and "as designed" vs "as-built" performance.

This webinar covers the following topics:

  • Heat, Air and Moisture movement in building and relevant building regulations
  • Hygrothermal Assessments, Dynamic vs Steady State Methods
  • Mechanisms and effects of air leakage on building envelopes
  • Performance and location of membranes as air barriers in facade applications
  • Fire test methods, classifications and BR135
  • The relationships between hygrothermal and fire performance criteria and their implications
