SBSH Delivers Training on Air Tightness and Retrofit

The Scottish Building Standards Hub recently facilitated training for verifiers on retrofit and air tightness, which was delivered by the Verdancy Group, specialists in providing sustainability training and environmental guidance to organisations, schools and communities. The training was delivered with the support of Fife College over two days at their Dunfermline and Levenmouth Campuses. 17 delegates from local authority building standards teams across Scotland attended the training where they were able to apply their technical knowledge in a hands-on training environment and gain practical skills in the application of internal wall insulation systems and air tightness membranes which will assist in the on-site verification of such products when carrying out site inspections as part of their role. A further session will be held in late spring 2025 at Fife College. The Scottish Building Standards Hub also investigating the possibility of rolling such training out nationally. If you are a verifier interested in attending any such event, please contact Russell Watson, Learning and Development Manager at the Scottish Building Standards Hub at russell.watson@fife.gov.uk.
