New RIBA-Accredited CPD on Sustainable Polycarbonate Daylighting and Facades
Brett Martin has launched a new RIBA accredited CPD - Sustainable Features of Polycarbonate Daylighting and Facades. This comprehensive presentation provides valuable insights into the benefits of natural light, the advantages of polycarbonate as a material, including its low environmental impact as well as the relevant performance regulations for creating sustainable building designs.
This CPD serves as an introductory guide to sustainability and design considerations when creating a facade for vertical daylighting. It highlights the significant environmental benefits of using polycarbonate as a glazing material and this CPD explains how polycarbonate sheets, such as the company’s own Marlon BioPlus, can be manufactured using a bio circular material and 100% renewable energy thus offering a sustainable alternative for modern building projects.
The CPD also explores the versatility of polycarbonate, showcasing its potential to be coloured, tinted and treated for glare reduction, UV protection and thermal control. Polycarbonate is not only lightweight and highly impact resistant but also thermally efficient, with certain systems for vertical glazing achieving a U-value as low as 0.99 W/m2K.
Adrian Lukic, Sales Director at Brett Martin Daylight Systems commented: “We are all aware of the benefits of natural light exposure, but it is important to keep up to speed with the solutions available and polycarbonate facade panels offer an ideal option for a huge variety of public and private sectors as well as industrial buildings. Our latest CPD provides architects with valuable insight regarding polycarbonate’s fire and thermal performance, water tightness and sound insulation as well as its clear sustainability credentials. Our aim is to ensure that armed with this knowledge, they can feel confident selecting polycarbonate systems in the future.”
