Architectural aluminium systems supplier Kawneer has launched a new RIBA-approved CPD presentation on air ventilation to help specifiers understand the revisions to Part F of the Building Regulations and their impact on building design and use.

“Approved Document F 2006: Means of Ventilation” also examines the different approaches that need to be taken to dwellings and buildings as well as buildings other than dwellings in both new build and refurbishment. The presentation advises on the purpose of air ventilation, what to look for regarding indoor air quality, ventilation strategies and systems including background, passive stack, continuous mechanical and purge ventilation, school buildings and replacement windows. Covering buildings other than dwellings such as offices and car parks, the CPD advises on the design measures needed to prevent Legionella and on the use of recirculated air in air conditioning systems.

The one-hour CPD is the sixth RIBA-approved CPD from Kawneer and like its predecessors conforms to RIBA’s strict best practice guidelines, with certificates issued on successful completion, reveals the company’s press release.
