December's issue of RIBA CPD Showcase

Dec 14, 2022 |NBS |1 Minute Read

This month’s RIBA CPD Showcase looks at the latest RIBA-approved CPD with a focus on protective, decorative and practical finishes.

The theme of December’s RIBA CPD Showcase is finishes - popularly portrayed as a final flourish, they are in fact integral to how we perceive and interact with buildings. Whether their primary function is protective, decorative or practical, finishes can be the vital component that elevates an ordinary building into something extraordinary.

This month’s issue also features CPD materials covering core curriculum topics ‘design, construction and technology’ and ‘legal, regulatory and statutory compliance.’ 

The latest CPD section includes online learning and seminars such as ‘Access Panels and Hatches’ by Rapid Access Ltd, ‘Creating a healthy, happy workspace’ by BRITA Vivreau Ltd, ‘Specifying curtain walling’ by Schueco UK Ltd and ‘Understanding Colour’ by Johnstone's Trade Paints. 

Some of the CPD material with a focus on finishes includes: 

Our selection of live and online seminars includes ‘The Future of Home Automation’ by Loxone Flagship Partner Automate, ‘Delivering Beautiful Building Services’  by PARC, and ‘Fire Performance of Polyester Powder Coating’ by Akzo Nobel Powder Coatings Ltd.

The range of materials in this month’s Featured CPD section includes ‘Outdoor Concepts: Creating the New Normal’ by Renson Fabrications Ltd, ‘An Introduction to Artificial Grass’ by Nomow Ltd and ‘Advanced Carpet Technology’ by ege carpets limited.
