Architecture CPD
Gain your architecture CPD points with BD by completing CPD modules online. Each module below contains a full technical article followed by a link to a multiple-choice questionnaire. All are fully CPD accredited for architects.
Latest CPD
CPD 18 2026: Multifunctional flat roof design
As flat roofs take on more roles, their design and specification are becoming increasingly complex. This CPD, sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, explores how to assess loading, fire performance, drainage and long-term behaviour as part of a complete roof system
CPD 17 2026: Using XPS insulation below DPC level in cavity walls
Sponsored by PolyFoam XPS, this CPD module explores the principles behind using extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation in masonry cavity walls below damp-proof course (DPC) level, examining relevant Building Regulations guidance, detailing approaches and the role of thermal modelling in achieving robust building performance
CPD 16 2026: Fire safety and wall membranes: understanding their role in building performance
Sponsored by Glidevale Protect, UK producer of construction membranes, this CPD explores the role of membranes within wall construction, with a particular focus on fire performance and how it interacts with moisture management, airtightness and thermal performance
CPD 15 2026: Retrofitting solid-wall homes with insulation
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module covers external wall insulation in the retrofit of solidwall homes – including the policy and funding landscape driving demand, and the fire safety and moisture-management requirements that govern material choice
CPD 14 2026: Closing the performance gap with insulation
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module examines why the gap between the predicted and actual performance of so many buildings persists – and how fabric-first design, informed insulation specification and consistent installation practice can help close it
CPD 13 2026: The fundamentals of insulation
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module explores the key principles behind insulation performance and how specifiers can ensure materials meet the standards required for modern construction on thermal, acoustic and fire performance
CPD 12 2026: Data-driven decision-making in the built environment – improving performance, profitability and resilience
This module, sponsored by Deltek, illustrates how senior decision-makers in the built environment can use data to support better operational and strategic decision-making. It examines how integrated information systems, key performance indicators (KPIs), predictive analytics and AI-assisted forecasting can give firms the edge, and shows how any business can progress ...
CPD 11 2026: Specifying glazed balconies for design, performance and compliance
Sponsored by Solarlux, this module, guides specifiers through the key decisions involved in designing and specifying a glazed balcony – from choosing the right acoustic and solar-control glazing to specifying the right fixings and meeting relevant regulations
CPD 10 2026: Fire safety and the building envelope
Sponsored by ROCKWOOL®, this module focuses on the fire performance of the building envelope, looking at external walls and balconies, and how to treat junctions and interfaces; it also considers how the provisions of the Building Safety Act impact the specification of envelopes
CPD 09 2026: Building better with concrete – decarbonisation, performance and the power of early engagement
Sponsored by Tarmac, this module looks at the many innovations being used to decarbonise concrete – from supplementary cementitious materials to AI automation of production – and explains how early engagement with manufacturers can identify the decarbonised product that will deliver the right performance for each job
