CPD session overview
In this CPD presentation, we will explore the sustainability of aluminium cladding and how architects can make informed choices. While the benefits of aluminium cladding are well-recognised, assessing its environmental impact can be complex. We will guide you through evaluating cladding products using lifecycle assessments covering everything from raw material extraction to disposal. Key factors include manufacturing processes, energy consumption, recyclability, and how the cladding affects the building's overall energy efficiency. We will also address product longevity and maintenance needs. Join us in understanding the essential variables in determining the sustainability of aluminium cladding and how to balance these with other considerations, such as functionality and aesthetics.
