Why book this CPD seminar?

Understand Passive wall and roof technology

Learn how our timber frame systems are constructed, from breathable timber structures and STEICOzell wood-fibre insulation to airtight OSB layers. We cover multi-depth options (240–400mm) and performance metrics including U-values down to 0.10 W/m²K and Passive House-level airtightness.

Material performance and sustainability

Explore the role of natural, high-performance materials in achieving low embodied carbon and enhanced hygrothermal comfort, including the benefits of breathable construction and responsibly sourced timber.

Off-site manufacture and precision fabrication

Delve into how workshop precision, controlled CNC manufacture and panelisation reduce waste, improve dimensional accuracy and accelerate on-site progress.

Airtightness, moisture and thermal management

Examine how airtightness strategies and moisture-intelligent detailing contribute to high energy efficiency and homeowner comfort throughout the building lifecycle.

Compliance, detailing & integration

Gain clarity on compliance with current UK Building Regulations and Passive House criteria, as well as practical considerations for detailing junctions, interfaces and services integration.

Design-to-delivery collaboration

Hear about best practice coordination workflows, from early design, through modelling and specification, to delivery and quality control.
