Our latest CPD
How to gain CPD using the AJ
Here at the AJ we know how difficult it can be trying to find time to fulfil your CPD requirements. So we’ve launched a new portal to make it easier for you
CPD: Materials for corrosion resistant and hygienic drainage
This CPD is sponsored by ACO Building Drainage. It aims to help specifiers gain knowledge allowing them to avoid specification risks associated with drainage elements for corrosion resistant and hygienic applications.
CPD: Laser Scanning
This CPD is sponsored by KOREC. With a greater use of BIM and 3D models, laser scanning is becoming an increasingly popular method for carrying out building surveys. This CPD explores the benefits of 3D laser scanning.
CPD: Environmental performance of lead sheet
This is the last of three CPDs sponsored by the Lead Sheet Association (LSA). Lead is often perceived as a heritage material. But its sustainability credentials are leading to it seeing a revival. This CPD explores the environmental performance of the material.
CPD: Design and specification of lead sheet roofing
This is the last of three CPDs sponsored by the Lead Sheet Association (LSA). It covers rolled lead sheet finishes to flat and pitched roofs, including fixings, gutters and ventilation details.
Roundtable: How will changes to Part L impact design?
A panel of experts, chaired by The AJ sustainability editor Hattie Hartman and invited by Comar, discuss the thorny issues of indoor air quality and building performance
CPD: ARBOLEDA - an Open BIM project
Modo Forma’s apartment development in Santo Domingo benefited from the clear workflows and building analysis of Vectorworks Architect software
CPD: Design and specification of curtain walling
This CPD covers curtain walling systems, including the types available, their assembly, installation and testing
CPD: Design and specification of lead sheet cladding
Applications to traditional and preformed vertical cladding, weatherings, dormer windows, and door and bay hoods sponsored by the Lead Sheet Association (LSA)
CPD: Design and specification of rolled lead sheet
This CPD is sponsored by the Lead Sheet Association (LSA), a trade association for manufacturers of BS EN: 12588 2006-compliant rolled lead
CPD: Innovative envelope solutions
This CPD’s objective is to outline the development of insulated panel technology and improve understanding of innovation in modular building envelopes, helping reduce project complexity and risk
CPD: Lightweight natural stone and glass ventilated rainscreens
The full title of this CPD is ‘Lightweight Natural Stone and Glass Ventilated Rainscreen Facades and the Requirements of Modern Architecture’
CPD: Approved Document L2A
The full title of this CPD is ‘Building Regulations Part L 2010: thermal, solar and air permeability requirements for windows, doors and curtain walling - specialist unit for new build, non-dwellings’, and it is sponsored by Sapa Building System
CPD: Fibre Cement
The full title of this CPD is ‘Fibre Cement: versatile, sustainable building material’. Its objectives are to introduce fibre cement products, their defining characteristics, advantages, history and predicted future
CPD: Slips and trips
Slips and trips are, perhaps, the major cause of accidents in public buildings. In this CPD we look at the extent of the problem, the legal requirements and obligations, guidelines for risk assessment, flooring standards and slip-resistance measurement
CPD: Unlocking the Potential of Porcelain Tile
The full title of this CPD is ‘Unlocking the Potential of Porcelain Tile: Decorative Solutions for High Pedestrian Slip Traffic Areas.’ It aims to look closely at the benefits of porcelain tiles and examine their suitability for use in high traffic areas
