CPD courses
This CPD programme is for consultants, installers and end-users wishing to update their knowledge on key technical and legislative topics. The range of CPD will provide attendees from young engineers to experienced engineers with the knowledge and skills regarding HVAC systems that will enable you to design solutions to achieve environmentally sustainable buildings.
In this CPD we explore what is an Air Handling Unit (AHU), the key applications where this type of system can be used. We provide an insight into the key advantages of an AHU and also the key components that make up a system along with additional accessories & options that can enhance the operation of a system. The final part of the CPD looks at the impact that a well designed and installed AHU can have on providing a healthy building.

- Filtration and filtration levels
- New and existing innovations that support IAQ
This CPD covers the latest updates relating to the F Gas regulations on the phase down of HFC refrigerants. In particular their impact on both manufacturers and installers on how they need to comply with the Directive with regards to use of refrigerants in Chiller systems. We discuss the use of different refrigerants and look at their impact on the Refrigerant phase down and the development of new low GWP refrigerants. We also review how this impacts the manufacturers of chiller systems and the considerations they need to take into account when developing new products using new low GWP refrigerants. In the final section of this CPD we look at the Eco Design Lot 21 Directive relating to the published energy efficiency of the all chiller equipment, detailing the guidance that all manufacturers need to follow to be able to publish their product energy efficiencies.
