| T105 Shading and solar control
NEW DATE - now Monday 7 June 2010 (previously planned for Friday 11 June)
This course covers design solutions to limit solar gain. It includes the technical performance of solar control glasses and shading devices.
The benefits of higher performance glasses and shading devices are compared. Design solutions including combinations of solar control glasses and shading devices are explored and methods of specifying are presented.
The course will enable delegates to understand the specification of environmental control glasses and shading devices and to assess the performance of different design solutions.

| A101 Acoustics
Thursday 17 June 2010
This course gives an introduction
to acoustics for designers of facades and façade components.
Basic concepts of acoustics
are covered including noise, sound measurement, sound transmission and
insulation.
The acoustic, performance
of basic façade materials and components is covered along with methods
of assessment and testing.
Finally the course covers
the acoustic performance of whole facades including sound transmission
through the wall and flanking transmission. Examples of good practice
are given.
The course is intended for
those who specify or design building envelopes, curtain walling and facade
components.

| C101 CWCT Standard for systemised building envelopes
Monday/Tuesday 21/22 June 2010
This course begins by describing
the different types of façade and the scope of the CWCT ‘Standard
for systemised building envelopes'. European standards
and specifications including the NBS and NHBC are explained.
The scope of performance
required from a curtain wall is covered along with the structure of the
CWCT Standard. Greatest emphasis is placed on the physical performance
of the wall.
The course concentrates on
the process of specification, decision making and the information to be
included in a specification. Detailed specification of separate performance
requirements is covered in other CWCT courses.
Successful completion of
this course will enable delegates to structure and interpret a curtain
walling specification.

| S101 Structural analysis
1
Tuesday/Wednesday 13/14 July 2010
This course will cover the
basic theory of structures required for the design of grid (stick) walls.
It will include loads (excluding wind loading), load paths, selection of
profiles, support brackets, loads on fixings.
Detail design considerations
will include: general arrangement of members, location of joints and supports,
mullion/transom joints and bracket/profile connections.
The course applies to aluminium,
steel and PVC-U framed walls. The performance of composite and thermally
broken profiles will also be covered.
Successful completion of
this course will enable the delegate to calculate stresses and deflections in a grid wall.
BS8118, the UK code for structural design of aluminium, is due to be withdrawn on 31 March 2010 and will be replaced by the Eurocode for aluminium BS EN 1999-1-1.
This course will refer to design in accordance with the Eurocode and highlight differences from BS8118.

| S103 Wind loading
Thursday 15 July 2010
This course covers all aspects
of wind load, the dominant loading on most cladding systems. It follows
on from course S101 and develops a full knowledge of the loads on cladding.
The course covers the basic
principles of wind loading. It sets out the differences between wind loading on structures and that
on cladding, including reversals of load and fatigue.
BS6399 Part 2, the UK windloading code, is due to be withdrawn on 31 March 2010 and will be replaced by the Eurocode for windload, BS EN 1991-1-4.
The course will refer to the assessment of windload in accordance with the Eurocode and highlight differences from BS 6399.
