CPD: RdSAP Types of Wall Constructions (3 Hr CPD)
Course Details
Improve your understanding of wall construction types and their importance within domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments with our CPD: RdSAP Types of Wall Constructions (3 Hr CPD) course.
Designed specifically for Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs), this Continuing Professional Development course provides a detailed understanding of the various wall construction methods found in domestic properties and explains how they should be identified, evidenced and recorded in accordance with the latest RdSAP methodology and industry conventions.
Throughout the course, you'll explore the characteristics of solid walls, cavity walls, timber frame construction, system-built properties, stone walls, cob construction and modern insulated wall systems. You'll also learn how construction age influences likely wall types, how insulation affects thermal performance and EPC ratings, and how to assess properties where construction methods are not immediately obvious.
Using practical examples, photographic case studies and real property scenarios, you'll develop the confidence to identify wall construction accurately during site inspections, gather appropriate supporting evidence and avoid common assessment errors that can lead to inaccurate EPCs or accreditation audit queries.
This is a fully online CPD course, meaning there is no classroom attendance, live webinar or face-to-face training required. The course is completed entirely through the Ozone Group SAMS learner portal, allowing you to study whenever it suits your schedule and complete the training at your own pace.
Once you have completed the learning module, you'll take a short online knowledge quiz within the SAMS portal. If you do not achieve the required pass mark on your first attempt, you can revisit the learning materials and retake the quiz as many times as necessary until you successfully pass the course. Once you achieve a pass, your CPD Certificate will be generated automatically and emailed directly to you, providing immediate evidence of your Continuing Professional Development.
