CPD: External Wall Insulation Systems - Solutions for Residential Refurbishment
Overview
External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems, also known as Insulated Render systems have been installed onto buildings for over 30 years to improve the thermal performance of buildings and provide an attractive facade finish. Climate issues now demand urgent action is needed to achieve net zero, and making the fabric of a building as energy-efficient as possible is an effective solution when upgrading existing housing stock or for new build constructions.
This CPD explores the practical use and benefits of external wall insulation systems that can help to reduce energy costs, meet the required fire performance and protect properties from weather damage.
