PARC, a Price Company

This CPD will focus on examples of different approaches to building services integration and highlight opportunities for designers to make more successful ceiling designs through the use of coordinated components and bringing together engineering and architectural expertise.The presentation will also highlight examples of deep integration that have resulted in architectural and building services solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - The different levels of integration and coordination available to designers in relation to building services- The benefits of pre-coordinated, integrated solutions- Different strategies for air distribution integration

This CPD will introduce the concept of radiant heat transfer and radiant panel technology as an energy efficient and highly comfortable means of heating and cooling a building. The presentation provides a technical background to the benefits of radiant heating and cooling, as well as introducing the different aesthetic solutions available for radiant panels, including metal, textile and special finishing. These options are then presented alongside their different technical benefits. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:- The process of radiant heat transfer- Which applications are most appropriate for the application of radiant technology- The different design solutions available with radiant products and the benefits of each- Rules of thumb to help design radiant ceilings- The tools available to help design projects with radiant solutionsThe CPD can be delivered in person or remotely.
