Ecological Building Systems Releases EcoCocon Straw Wall Systems Webinar As Part Of CPD Programme For 2026

Ecological Building Systems, a leading supplier of natural building products for sustainable construction, has revealed its comprehensive CPD programme for the year ahead.  The programme, which is run via live webinars by Ecological Building Systems’ technical experts, includes, for the first time a CPD on designing and building homes using the sustainable EcoCocon straw wall system.

The new CPD will focus on how the EcoCocon straw wall system helps create more sustainable, healthy and high-performance buildings with minimal environmental impact.  Aimed at architects, architectural technologists, structural engineers, specifiers, building surveyors, contractors, consultants and students in the industry, the CPD provides an informative overview of how to design and build with these building blocks of the future.

Alongside the EcoCocon webinar, Ecological Building Systems will be hosting a wide range of insightful CPDs through the year on a variety of building topics, including airtightness and moisture vapour management, natural fibre insulation in low carbon construction and vapour-open internal wall insulation systems. The topics are repeated at regular intervals to offer as many construction professionals as possible the chance to benefit.

Neil Turner, UK Technical Manager at Ecological Building Systems, explains: “We’re excited to have added a technical webinar on the EcoCocon straw wall system to our CPD programme.  We became the exclusive distributor for the UK & Ireland of EcoCocon in 2025 and have had a great deal of interest from specifiers and other building professionals.  We’re offering a comprehensive CPD programme for 2026, which covers many new build and retrofit construction methods to give attendees the opportunity to ask questions of our technical team and to take advantage of a free design review, if required. These webinars provide structured CPD points and attendees receive certification on completion.”

Ecological Building Systems has been delivering training in low - carbon impact construction for over 20 years.  The company is recognised for his expertise in high-performance building products, supplying a wide range of innovative airtightness systems and insulation materials, backed up by expert technical support.
