Expand Your Knowledge with Durra Panel CPDs

Acoustic design plays a central role in how people experience spaces from comfort and wellbeing to compliance and safety. Yet too often it’s treated as an afterthought. Our Building with Acoustics CPD helps architects and designers understand how acoustic requirements vary across building types, how construction choices influence performance, and how to interpret acoustic reports, providing practical knowledge to make informed material and design decisions.

In this 1‑hour formal CPD, we cover:

• Clear, practical explanations of key acoustic principles and terminology
• How acoustic requirements vary across building types (NCC-aligned)
• The impact of wall and ceiling systems on performance
• Buildability and detailing considerations to ensure compliant outcomes
• How acoustic decisions intersect with sustainability goals

This session gives your team the practical knowledge to make informed acoustic design decisions that consider performance, buildability, and sustainability.

With sustainability now central to design and specification, architects are rightly cautious about greenwashing, products that claim environmental benefits without credible evidence. Our sustainable materials CPD helps teams distinguish true value from marketing noise, and make decisions grounded in measurable environmental impact.

In this 1‑hour formal CPD, we explore:

• How to identify greenwashing in building products and understand which documentation matters.
• Design strategies for sustainability from concept to completion to achieve better outcomes.
• Tools to assess environmental impact using life-cycle thinking, declarations, and metrics.
• How to evaluate embodied carbon in materials and construction methods.
• Ways to choose materials that support circularity and long-term reuse.
• How material selection can contribute to energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

This session gives your team practical tools and clear criteria to make informed, evidence-based decisions in sustainable design.
