The White Book Health Sector Guide: The Comprehensive Specification Guide to Healthcare Environments
Type: Literature
The White Book Health Sector Guide makes specifying for healthcare buildings easier. It covers the critical regulations and guidance that designers need to take into account and discusses systems and products that have been proven for use in health facilities. The document gives extensive guidance on the application of HTM 08-01, the recently introduced guidance on acoustics in health care buildings, guiding the reader through the background theory and the practical application of the guidance which is a key driver to the design and specification of systems in a healthcare building.

The White Book Education Sector Guide
Type: Seminar
- A comprehensive guide to the specification of partition, ceiling and other building systems that meet the demands of modern education buildings.

Specifying within the Residential Sector to meet Regulatory Requirements and the Code for Sustainable Homes
Type: Seminar
- Regulation and design criteria that drive the specification of internal lining solutions, with a specific focus on the acoustic and thermal performance of the building. - In addition to building regulations, designers now need to consider the implications of The Code for Sustainable Homes and the presentation covers this in detail. - Explanation of the Code for Sustainable Homes explaining how achieve credits are achieved using British Gypsum products and services.
