The CPD focuses on the importance of air and wind-tightness in low-energy building design. It discusses the importance of external and internal membranes and their sealing, and highlights best practice on how to specify and install relevant products and components. It also focuses on the risks associated with airtight buildings, and how best to overcome these.

Highlights of the CPD include:

• Correct product choice for specific scenarios
• Correct detailing and specification for optimum results
• How to determine where an airtight layer should be
• How to specify correct components for varying scenarios
• Airtight principles and associated risks
