SUMMARY:Carbon Co-op Info Night: Heating and Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:Many of our members have questions about heating systems and ventilation – what works? What is suitable for different house types? How do heating systems and ventilation interact?\nOur approach to retrofit is fabric first – but what is second? Thinking through the way we heat and ventilate our homes is essential to effective whole house retrofit\, and ensuring that we are warm and have good indoor air quality.\nOlder homes were built to be draughty as a way of managing damp and indoor air quality\, but that makes them cold and expensive to heat. As we draught proof our homes and make them warm and cosy\, having a ventilation strategy that is compatible with our heating strategy and the building’s fabric becomes increasingly important.\nWe will be joined by three professionals with different areas of expertise: Peter King (Aereco\, Ventilation Manufacturer)\, Richard Shears (Snug Spaces\, Heating Engineer)\, and Jim Wild (LEDA\, Building Services Engineer). \nSpeakers will present drawing on their expertise in whole house building design\, heating system installation and ventilation system design.  To get the warmed up and focused on what you want to know about\, please post your questions on social media ahead of the event. \nFood will be provided. Booking is essential.\nAGENDA\n\n6.00pm – Arrival\, tea & coffee\n6.15pm – Introductions \n6.20pm – Speaker presentations\n7.20pm – Discussion\n7.50pm – Food and socialising\n8.30pm – Ends\n\nThis event has been sponsored by Aereco.\n\n\nSpeaker biographies\nJim Wild (LEDA\, Building Services Engineer)\nJim is an expert in Building Services Engineering and a Chartered Engineer and Director for LEDA. He works with a holistic view and human centred approach on all projects. At LEDA we are dedicated to creating excellent buildings that work. We provide advice and design at all stages of the construction life cycle and work collaboratively across disciplines to achieve financially viable\, lean and environmentally sustainable solutions. Currently we are working on single domestic dwelling refurbishments\, new build low energy and Passive House projects\, large refurbishments and new new build for private and local authority customers. \nRichard Shears (Snug Spaces\, Heating Engineer)\nRichard’s background is in plumbing and heating\, which he’s been involved with for over 10yrs. As he’s gained knowledge and experience he has moved more towards low energy retrofit and installing systems that suit the needs of low energy homes. Richard has also added energy assessment to his skills\, and more recently AECB Retrofit Co-ordinator qualifications.\nRichard started Snug Spaces as a way of providing a more rounded approach to retrofit. We are a small team of installers and subcontractors that provide guidance and advice to the homeowner and showing them a pathway to lowering their energy use. We focus on actual delivery and installation of energy efficiency measures\, quite often helping homeowners with single elements but also right through to whole house retrofits\, it isn’t always possible to plan a complete refurbishment of the home in one go.\nPeter King (Aereco\, Ventilation specialist)\nPeter King is a ventilation specialist with over 6 years’ experience at Aereco.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Off-Grid Power Systems - Oct 2018
DESCRIPTION:A practical\, hands-on course in designing and building off-grid power systems.\n\n** Note venue: URBED\, M1 1HR – NOT Bridge 5 Mill\nLimited number of discounted tickets available on a first come\, first serve basis. \n\n\nDescription: The key concepts for designing and building off-grid power systems. Discussing the value of off-grid systems\, sharing knowledge on how to build your own system to power lighting or electronic devices. \nFor: Anyone with an interest in renewable energy and generating and supplying their own power\, building off-grid power systems\, automotive or marine power applications.\nBenefit: Gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience.\nWhat you will learn:\n\nKey concepts in the supply of electricity and basic electrical theory.\nKey concepts in the design and specification of off-grid power systems.\nHow to size a basic off-grid power system involving PV panels and a battery.\nBasic specification and selection of components.\nAssembly of a basic off-grid power system with PV panels and batteries.\n\n\nExisting knowledge required: Some familiarity with basic electrical theory will aid understanding but is not required. \nTrainer: Ben Aylott\, Carbon Co-op \nWorks in the areas of energy systems\, he has a masters in Solar Energy Engineering from the European Solar Engineering School and experience in designing and building real world off-grid power systems in a variety of contexts.\nCost:\n\nMember (discounted) – £40\nNon-member  (discounted) – £50\nMember (standard) – £55\nNon-member (standard) – £70\n\nLimited number of discounted tickets available on a first come\, first serve basis. \n** Note venue: URBED\, M1 1HR – NOT Bridge 5 Mill\nThis training is a part of Carbon Co-op’s Home Energy Training Programme\, see more here: carbon.coop/training
