The Building a Safer review commented on the Building Regulations and Fire Safety. One of the many recommendations has been the Golden Thread initiative which should ensure access to reliable, up to date information of the building's life cycle from design, specification, construction, maintenance, and inspection. The methodology of having real time information is contained within BS8644-1, Digital Management of Fire Safety Information.
This CPD relates to how a specifier can utilise up to date technology developed within the Fire Door Industry supply chain to ensure, specification, detailing, fabrication, installation, inspection, and maintenance can be used to satisfy the needs of new legislation and the Golden Thread. It is a step by step guide as to how this technology can be easily utilised by the specifier to ensure their clients ensure they have fire resisting doors that are compliant.

The ability to economically heat buildings, whilst also considering the environmental impact, is becoming more and more important. This is especially so in large spaces such as offices, warehouses, sports centres, retail outlets, schools, and hospitals where energy usage is high. We spend virtually three-quarters of our lives in buildings: the indoor climate, temperature, and air quality has a considerable influence on our general well-being. A range of options are available when choosing heating systems, however, one that is often overlooked and perhaps not so readily understood is radiant heating. The radiant heating CPD from Zehnder examines the technology further and examines the benefits the system can offer.Learning objectives
- An understanding of radiant heat and how it works
- How resultant/perceived temperature affects us
- The features and benefits of radiant heating
- Comparisons between radiant and convective systems
