This CPD discusses the role that suspended ceilings can perform with their reaction and resistance to the effects of fire within buildings. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:- The basics of fire- The role active and passive fire protection play in buildings- Testing methods used for suspended ceilings- Key elements on how to break a fire triangle- Product fire reaction performance- Product fire resistanceThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

Building design impacts the health, wellbeing and productivity of occupants. This CPD will help you understand the industry drivers and business case for high quality, healthy and greener buildings, including the role of suspended ceilings in supporting project goals.By the end of this CPD delegates should:Understand how building design impacts the health, wellbeing and productivity of occupants.Understand the industry drivers and business case for high quality, healthy and greener buildings.Evaluate the performance characteristics of ceiling systems which positively impact occupant wellbeing.

In this presentation, we will be looking at why creating healthy acoustic environments is important and how the acoustic performance of suspended ceilings and wall absorbers can assist with this. The science behind the tests and standards will be explained including what the Building Regulations and sector specific requirements are, and how these requirements can be fulfilled. The aim is to provide the audience with a level of knowledge on the topic that will enable them to specify suspended ceiling systems with confidence, and know when to seek further guidance.By the end of this CPD, delegates should:1. Have an understanding of why, how, what in relation to the acoustic performance of suspended ceiling systems and wall absorbers.2. Have gained knowledge on the science behind sound absorption and attenuation.3. Have recognition of the different routes to compliance with regulations.
