The Importance of Ventilation in Buildings: in depth (Level 2) - Online
2021-02-09 16:30 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
We spend 90% of our lives inside buildings and yet the indoor air quality is often poor. As we continue to improve the airtightness of our buildings, we need to ensure that the quality of indoor air is maintained for our health and well being.
The Level 1 session held on 19th Jan covered the basic principles of ventilation, its link to building performance, moisture control in buildings and indoor air quality.
The content in this Level 2 two hour online training session is separate from Level 1 (with the exception of expanding on duct pressures and going more in depth into design) so book your place to learn about the topics covered below.

Vince House and Peter King of Aereco will provide a technically detailed, in-depth session explaining:

How occupancy affects the sizing and efficiency of ventilation systems
How to select the correct ventilation system
Acoustics in ventilation systems

Contaminants which affect IAQ such as C02 and VOCs

This training session will have Q&A breaks to allow participants to ask questions of the speakers.

A Guide to the new Green Homes Grant scheme
2020-09-03 18:00 - 19:30
This session will cover information about the new Government Retrofit Grants scheme.

The Government finance statement in July 2020 included an announcement about the new Green Homes Grant scheme. The programme will make available up to £2bn worth of energy efficiency grants for householders with up to £5,000 per property matched against a householder contribution.
In this webinar we will outline details of the scheme and what has and has not yet been confirmed. We will set out how householders might want to utilise this grant as part of a one off scheme or a wider whole house retrofit. We will sketch out the importance of creating a retrofit plan, highlight contractor procurement best practice and talk about the role of quality assurance frameworks such as PAS2035.
Finally, we will outline the services we offer and how we might be able to help householders interested in the scheme.
