Content:

Drivers and Environmental Requirement
Session one will give an overview of the environmental imperatives determining the need to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive will be described together with its impact on Part L of the Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Low Energy Design
This session will identify the key factors in the design of low energy buildings and consider the alternative approaches of active and passive design. It will consider the requirements of both fabric and ventilation.

Generation of Hot Water
Session three will concentrate on renewable energy technologies for the generation of hot water, both for space heating and domestic hot water. The session will focus on the use of both solar and geothermal energy.

Generation of Electricity
The technologies for on-site electricity generation using wind turbines, solar photovoltaic and combined heat and power will be considered, together with their application to domestic properties. 

 

"I found the material extremely useful and particularly the comparisons of costs, efficiencies and payback periods, which I will be able to use to advise future clients on design strategy."
