Leading bathroom manufacturer Ideal Standard has introduced a new RIBA-certified CPD course, “Specifying bathrooms for a sustainable, design-led Future, ” aimed at architects and designers. This CPD emphasises crucial aspects of specification, legislation, and design considerations for residential bathrooms, demonstrating how these factors impact decision-making throughout the design process.

Specifically, the CPD resource addresses safety, sustainability, accessibility, hygiene, and the pertinent Document M and Document G legislation regarding building access and use. It also covers cold-water use, water efficiency, hot water supply, and sanitary requirements, with a focus on key water regulation certification bodies, including NSF, KIWA, and WRAS, and their importance across all developments.

For those overseeing specifications in projects, certifications can highlight genuinely sustainable properties, with BREEAM and WELL being the foremost certification schemes for sustainability and safety in the built environment.

Jo Edwards, channel director, Residential and Trade at Ideal Standard, stated: “Continuous training and development are essential for upholding industry standards and delivering bathrooms that meet the needs of end-users and housebuilders. That’s why we are dedicated to creating CPDs for professionals across the bathroom and washroom sector.

“There are numerous factors for specifiers to consider when designing a residential bathroom, including durability, adaptability, hygiene, safety, and sustainability. Our CPD, titled ‘specifying bathrooms for a sustainable, design-led future,’ provides specifiers with the necessary information to make well-informed design decisions, fulfil regulatory obligations, and create bathrooms that are both stylish and practical, now and in the future.”
