Understanding Current Practice in Building Services Short course
Understanding Current Practice in Building Services
Overview
The choice of building services is always changing, with new regulations and evolving expectations of occupiers.
On this short course, you'll deal with trends on a need-to-know basis, with a focus on the significance to property owners, occupiers and professionals. You'll unpack SBEM and SAP calculations, the bearing they have on heating and ventilation systems, together with new approaches to lighting.
The choices of available systems will be considered, along with new technologies currently available for use in new buildings and retrofit. The pitfalls and shortcomings of systems will be explored, and simple steps to recognise and identify many of the systems and features will be discussed.
