CPD: Flat roofs: the functional fifth façade

For architects, engineers and roofing professionals, flat roofs are no longer passive building elements.

In modern developments, especially in dense urban environments, roof space is increasingly used as a Fifth Façade—supporting building services, HVAC equipment, solar PV, and even social rooftop spaces.

As functionality increases, so does complexity in design, specification, and installation.

This webinar helps you design flat roofs that meet today’s performance demands while managing fire risk above and below the roof.

Why attend

If you specify, design, or install flat roof systems, this session will help you make clearer, more confident decisions on multifunctional roof projects.

You’ll learn how to align performance, compliance, and real-world roof use within a changing regulatory and design landscape.

What you’ll learn

• How Building Regulations and guidance (including Approved Document B) apply to flat roof design
• How rooftop installations—HVAC, access systems, and social spaces—impact specification and construction
• How solar PV is addressed within current regulatory frameworks
• The role of non-combustible materials, including insulation, in safe roof system design

Live CPD webinar

• CPD points included
