iRed talk about Thermography and its practical applications at 'Build Tight, Ventilate Right' |
| 4th December 2009 | |
| Roots & Shoots, Lambeth - 9.30 - 17.30 | |
| Most of the techniques for achieving a low carbon building are well documented but in practice the standards aimed for are often not achieved through lack of understanding about what makes a highly insulated, airtight, energy efficient building. This course will explain the straightforward building techniques that can achieve this and what can be done on site to improve build quality. | |
| In the morning Lucy Pedler, director of The Green Register will cover the theory of breathing construction, airtightness, robust detailing and natural ventilation. A typical breathing wall will be examined layer by layer to explain their functions and the low environmental impact materials currently available. This is followed by a presentation from Niall Crosson of Pro Clima, experts in the building science of airtight buildings, and the morning concludes with a session presented by Gerry Lennon, director of Sandwood Design and Build who will be using a full size model to illustrate Sandwood’s extensive experience of achieving best practice detailing. | |
| The afternoon will include presentations on passive stack/natural ventilation by Passivent. Ray Faulkner from iRED discusses thermographic imaging techniques and applications. Chiltern Dynamics have an on-site demonstration of an airtightness test. | |
