Utilising masonry for thermal mass and low carbon buildings, 13th June

This project briefing is a unique opportunity to learn about an innovative masonry solution ‘thermal wall’ that has been used at the Houghton Primary Care Centre.

The event will present the design and construction considerations of the hollow masonry ‘thermal wall’ solution. The architect, building services and ventilation engineers will provide insight into its use as part of a low energy ventilation system, designed to meet the privacy and separation requirements of a healthcare building.

A site visit of the completed BREEAM Outstanding healthcare centre is also included as part of this free event.

Our range of free CPD-certified technical presentations has been revised with new seminars added. These are tailored to your needs and delivered in your office.

The new titles are 'Low carbon non-residential buildings' and 'RC detailing to Eurocode 2'.

The Passive Design Assistant tool is new software that helps demonstrate the passive design principals of buildings to non-specialists, and enables key design variables such as orientation, ventilation and thermal mass to be more easily understood.

The Concrete Centre is the central development organisation for the UK concrete industry. Our aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete to realise the full potential of concrete.

The Concrete Centre is part of the Mineral Products Association, the trade association for the aggregates, asphalt, cement, concrete, lime, mortar and silica sand industries.
