SUMMARY:BDQ Online CPD Masterclass with Weathertex
DESCRIPTION:Weathertex Better Design Choices: Smarter Cladding Decisions in the Age of the New NCC\nOverview\nAs Australia’s building code continues to evolve\, the conversation around lightweight cladding\, thermal performance\, and moisture management has never been more relevant. This presentation takes a practical look at how designers and specifiers can make better material and design choices in response to the updated NCC requirements\, with a focus on real outcomes for homeowners and the built environment. \nPresenter\nRick Bell from Weathertex will deliver an informative session exploring how lightweight cladding solutions align with today’s performance benchmarks and regulatory expectations. \nLearning Outcomes\nYou’ll walk away with practical\, evidence-based insights to apply directly to your residential and commercial projects\, including: \n\nUnderstand the key differences between 7-star and 10-star rated homes\, and the design and specification implications of moving toward higher energy performance benchmarks.\nEvaluate the role of lighter paint colours in warmer climates and how reflectivity influences thermal load\, occupant comfort\, and overall energy efficiency.\nApply knowledge of vapour permeable membranes to inform better building envelope decisions that support moisture management\, durability\, and long-term performance.\n\nMembers will receive 1 Type F CPD Point.
