Join us for practical handy tips for achieving quality, compliant low energy buildings. This free series is part of the QualiBuild project funded by Intelligent Energy Europe a programme of the European Union.
This series looks at practical examples of how to achieve quality on site and comply with the new building control regulations BC(A) R and deliver near zero energy buildings. It is designed for both professionals and on site construction workers to come together for peer to peer learning. The briefings will encourage discussion and sharing of best practice approaches to quality to achieve low-energy buildings including insulation, air-tightness, ventilation, heating systems and detailing.
Session Three – Ventilation Systems | Wednesday 17 February 2015 | 6pm – 7pm
The importance of properly designed and installed ventilation systems is essential to maintain energy efficiency within a building and to provide a healthy environment for the occupiers, especially with modern air tight homes. The fundamental principle of low energy building is to build tight and ventilate right. This briefing and discussion focuses on appropriate ventilation systems and their installation.
Justin Conway is a mechanical engineer with many years’ experience in a broad range of engineering, energy and technical customer facing roles. Justin is the Operations Manager at Aereco, manufacturers of demand controlled ventilation (DCV) products for domestic and commercial applications.
Session Four – Efficient Services and Heating Systems | Wednesday 9 March 2015 | 6pm – 7pm
This session will explore how quality design and installation of heating systems with correct temperature and zoning controls can greatly improve efficiency and provide high levels of comfort for the building occupiers. It will also focus on good practice sizing of boilers for low energy homes, and commissioning of heating systems to ensure that they operate efficiently throughout the system.
