Upcoming Events
16 February 2021 ~ Part L & F of the Building Regulations 2021 & The Overheating Consultation
by Building Alliance
As you will be aware the Government has now responded to the Future Homes Standard / Part L consultation, confirming the standards and compliance metrics to be adopted as part of the changes to Approved Document L1A. These changes will be regulated for in December 2021, to come into effect in June 2022. Additional consultation documents have been released as the ‘Future Buildings Standard Consultation’ which will provide some further detail in key areas and also address issues relating to overheating, Part F and the required standards for existing dwellings.
On behalf of the Futures Group, I am pleased to invite you to attend a webinar between 1000 and 1200 on the 16th February 2021, where the MHCLG team will articulate the changes, answer questions and introduce the consultation on Overheating.

16-19 May 2021 ~ 14th Canadian Masonry Symposium, Montreal
Planning is well underway for the 14th Canadian Masonry Symposium (CMS), May 16-19 2021, Montreal, Canada. The CMS is Canada’s most eminent gathering for masonry related technical topics and associated fields of inquiry and attracts national and international experts on the design, construction, behaviour and performance of all things masonry. More information can be found on their website, https://www.canadianmasonrysymposium.com (including the following extract):
PLANNING AROUND COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
We can appreciate that every jurisdiction and individual employer is going to have differing policies on how such events are going to be handled and how (or if) travel is permitted. This will undoubtedly impact the ability of the participants to attend in person. However, we are committed to running an in-person symposium in 2021, and although its final form may be much different that how the CMS has looked in the past, we feel that it is important to provide a forum for researchers to disseminate their work. The organizing committee is pursuing various options, including virtual participation and hybrid models, and as developments unfold, we will be communicating that information. Please check the Announcements page for updates. Thank you
14 June 2022 ~ Masonry Symposium: Advancing Masonry Technology, Seattle, USA
The symposium will take place on June 14 2022, at the Hyatt Regency, Seattle, USA. Its objective is to gather and disseminate the latest information on all aspects of innovation in masonry materials, design, specification, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation. It will emphasise the application of ASTM standards to those areas, and their co-ordination with building codes, project specifications and international standards.
The Symposium is co-sponsored by ASTM Committees C01 on Cement, C07 on Lime, C12 on Mortars and Grouts for Unit Masonry (Lead Committee), and C15 on Manufactured Masonry Units.
More information can be found on their website, ASTM International – 2022 Masonry Symposium: Advancing Masonr..
