Category: Design construction technology, Sustainable architecture
Duration: 45 minutes, 15 minutes for Q&A
Summary: CPD Takeaway

BB101 is a guideline document for the ventilation and heating of school buildings within the UK. The course goes into detail on:

• How current school designs are failing the criteria set for them (emissions, operational cost, overheating)
• Regulations and considerations that impact on design decisions for a new school
• What to consider when choosing a ventilation strategy
• How building services can adapt to occupant behaviour over time
• Why a natural ventilation strategy fits with RIBA best practice guidelines for school design

This CPD is suitable for those looking for general awareness, with the ability to deep dive into any topics the audience find interesting.

Ventive products reduce carbon emissions and running costs, simplifying the task of compliance with Building Regulations (Part L).
