Part L seminars, April 2006

During April, Corus held two seminars in London and Manchester regarding the Part L Building Regulation changes.

The evening presentations, chaired by George Ferguson (ex-RIBA President) consisted of three presentations followed by the opportunity to discuss the key issues affecting architects relating to Part L. The presenters were:

• Laurie Chetwood – Senior Partner, Chetwood Associates
• Ray Ogden – Professor of Architectural Technology, Oxford Brookes University
• Mark Clemson – Business Development Manager, UK & Ireland, Corus

Corus strongly believes in not only developing products to meet the changing needs of the industry, but also supporting you in meeting these new obligations. Key issues included:

• An understanding, in simple terms, of the impact of the changes to Part L, and how this will relate to the building envelope.
• A mixture of practical and theoretical guidance on air-tightness through the work Corus have carried out in conjunction with Oxford Brookes University.
• An insight into the latest thinking in designing energy efficiency into buildings.
• A Q&A session with the expert panel.
