GF Building Flow Solutions (formerly Uponor) has launched a new CIBSE accredited CPD: ‘Minimise the heat and energy losses of heat networks’, developed for building services engineers looking to broaden their knowledge. The hour long, face-to-face session looks at the importance of community and district heating networks, the relevant legislation, and advises how to optimise their performance through the use of efficient, pre-insulated pipe systems.
The comprehensive CPD will cover the types of heat networks, their role in reaching net zero, the relevant codes of practice and offer valuable insight into the funding available. The CPD will go on to look at system structures for sustainable heating and cooling, from outside to inside the building, the main issues to consider when it comes to system design and the benefits of pre-insulated pipework.
Sam Barker, Head of Commercial at GF Building Flow Solutions said:
“Decarbonising how we heat homes and buildings through methods such as heat networks is critical for meeting net zero goals. However, they have to perform as intended and making an informed decision when it comes to the specification of pipework is a factor in their success. Attendees should leave this CPD with a greater understanding of heat networks and how, through careful pipe selection, they can enable low temperature operation and minimise heat loss.”
