NEW CPD HELPS YOU SOLVE PART L VS PART O CONFLICTS
Eurocell has launched two essential CPD courses designed to help fenestration and construction professionals stay ahead of evolving building regulations and overcome common compliance conflicts. The UK’ s leading manufacturer, distributor, and recycler of PVC-U building products has released Compliance with Design: Part L vs Part O and Elevating Design: Fenestration Solutions for Regulatory Compliance. The courses offer architects, specifiers, fabricators and builders, practical solutions for meeting the latest requirements in energy efficiency, overheating prevention, and fenestration design.
Compliance with Design: Part L vs Part O focuses on the balance between energy

efficiency and preventing overheating. It explains how professionals can meet the requirements of both Approved Documents L and O by managing heat loss, reducing energy demand, and selecting the right glazing solutions for optimal comfort.
Elevating Design: Fenestration Solutions for Regulatory Compliance offers a comprehensive guide to overcoming the challenges of energy performance, solar gain control, and safety standards. This CPD explores how to select the best materials, glazing, and window configurations to meet regulatory demands while balancing solar gain control, ventilation, and design goals.
“ We’ re committed to helping fenestration professionals navigate the increasingly complex world of building regulations,” said Arron Crisp, Technical Specification Manager at Eurocell.
“ For example, the conflict between Approved Document L’ s energy efficiency targets and the overheating concerns in Document O is a common challenge. Maximising window size for daylight can often increase solar gain, undermining the thermal performance required by Document L. It’ s a delicate balance and that’ s where our CPDs come in.
“ We’ ve designed these CPDs to tackle challenges like this head-on, providing professionals with practical, actionable solutions to meet the toughest regulatory standards. Our goal is to help the industry create high-performance, energy-efficient designs that don’ t compromise on comfort or sustainability.”
Eurocell’ s courses can be taken online, in-person or on demand and provide forward thinking solutions for some of the industry’ s most common challenges with building regulations.

ABLOY UK LAUNCHES NEW DOOR COMPLIANCE WEBINAR TO EDUCATE ON EMERGING LEGISLATION
The session has been designed to help attendees to understand compliance by exploring key topics such as NCP 109 Issue 4, the different types of doors and their specific functions and the specification of both wired and wireless access control solutions.
It addresses important regulatory updates, including changes to approved Document B relating to fire safety, the withdrawal of BS 476 and the transition to BS EN 13501 for fire testing as well as the requirements of Regulation 28. The webinar also looks at new legislation and requirements which have recently come to light including Martyn’ s Law, the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act( PSTI) and the Radio Equipment Directive Delegated Act.
It also provides practical examples of how compliance can be achieved in real-world applications, giving attendees insight into how to implement effective access control and fire safety measures.
Attending the webinar will allow those who are responsible for safety and access control to be better prepared as changes start to be implemented.
