This course will supply delegates with knowledge and understanding of the installation of energy efficiency measures suitable for non-domestic buildings. It will enable them to assess the significance and condition of the building and make decisions about which measures might be appropriate for use in a variety of circumstances.
During this course delegates will learn the building regulations, support schemes, energy use and improvement opportunities as well as The National Energy Assessment Procedure (NEAP) and an Introduction to iSBEM Software.
Background
• The Building Regulations Part L – Buildings Other Than Dwellings
• Energy Certification Schemes for Non-Domestic Buildings
• CIBSE Good Practice Guides
• Overview of SEAI Support Schemes including (list not exhaustive)

• Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme
Energy Use and Improvement Opportunities for Non-Domestic Buildings
To be examined under below headings:
• Building Fabric
• Space Heating; systems and plant
• Water Heating, storage, and consumption
• Ventilation – Natural / Mechanical
• Cooling / Air Conditioning
• Controls for Mechanical Systems
• Lighting; natural and artificial
