Course
Energy Efficiency Retrofit
$419.00
Overview
Our one day course offers an introduction to energy-efficient retrofitting of existing buildings. It covers topics such as energy performance, retrofit planning and management, quality control, and recent developments in the field, including BSI publications, regulatory reforms, and market opportunities. The course highlights the importance of retrofitting existing buildings for carbon reduction and improved energy efficiency. It also covers the impact of retrofit on climate change and the potential opportunities in both the housing and non-domestic building retrofit markets.

Objectives & Assessment
At the end of the course you should have an improved understanding of:
- The relevance of the range of issues that make a contribution to the sustainability and energy efficiency of buildings including their carbon production and reduction (e.g. embodied carbon of materials, recycling attributes, quality management, maintenance and repair, use and management of buildings, thermal values, sources of energy).
- Building inspection methods and equipment used including assessing use.
- The range of available retrofit measures, work and actions and making decision on the overall content of a retrofit project.
- The assessment of energy performance of buildings, limitations of assessment methods and the production of EPC’s.
- Retrofit principles and practice – design and installation of common energy efficiency measures.
- Planning and managing a retrofit project including quality management.
- The drivers for improving energy efficiency and current regulations, standards and guidance and how organisations and individuals can demonstrate their competence in retrofit.
- The opportunities available for organisations and individuals in retrofit and how to contribute to the ‘green revolution’ along with commercial opportunities.
Suitability
This course is suitable for anyone in the construction and property industry who requires additional knowledge on the retrofitting of existing buildings. This ranges from those that assess buildings and are responsible for the design of energy efficiency improvements as well as those that plan and manage retrofit projects. It is therefore suitable for clients, consultants, and contractors.
