BIID CPD Learning Day With Crown Paints & Zentia

Come along and join the British Institute of Interior Design at Material Source in Glasgow for a BIID CPD learning day with Crown Paints and Zentia. Enjoy networking at lunchtime along with CPDs on limiting noise annoyance, inclusive colour and colour design for dementia.

Meet the BIID Regional Ambassador, Alex Mackenzie, and learn more about the institute, its 60 years supporting the industry and its welcoming and dynamic community of interior designers. Chat to Alex about the opportunity to become a member with the BIID and the benefits this entails for interior designers at any stage of their career.

Info: In this presentation, we will be looking at why creating healthy acoustic environments is important and how the acoustic performance of suspended ceilings and wall absorbers can assist with this. The science behind the tests and standards will be explained including what the Building Regulations and sector specific requirements are, and how these requirements can be fulfilled. The aim is to provide the audience with a level of knowledge on the topic that will enable them to specify suspended ceiling systems with confidence, and know when to seek further guidance.

Learning objectives - by the end of this CPD, delegates should:
- Have an understanding of why, how, what in relation to the acoustic performance of suspended ceiling systems and wall absorbers.
- Have gained knowledge on the science behind sound absorption and attenuation.
- Have recognition of the different routes to compliance with regulations.

Info: This joint CPD will introduce interior designers to legislations that are applicable when using colour in spaces, with key information on visual references to tonal contrasts and surfaces. The second part of this interactive CPD examines common symptoms of dementia and how the built environment can exacerbate these or help those with dementia to live well. Additionally, this CPD will offer a greater understanding of how the implications of Dementia can help guide the design within a care setting.
