  • CPD 10:
    Modern Solutions for Domestic Water Services

    This course covers water distribution challenges in high-rise buildings, focusing on water pressure management regulations. We’ll explore methods, key components like pressure-reducing valves and backflow prevention devices, and discuss installation, maintenance, and modern solutions for domestic water services.

  • CPD 09:
    The History of Legionella & Legionnaires Disease

    Public buildings like schools, hospitals, and government offices must control Legionella to protect public health and meet regulations. This CPD session covers Legionella risks, relevant laws, and control strategies, essential for responsible facility management.

  • CPD 08:
    System Balancing

    Regulating some heating systems can be extremely challenging, often making uniform heating seem impossible. In this CPD, you'll learn about various volume systems, key considerations for balancing them, and the essential components needed to achieve proper system balance.

  • CPD 07:
    Thermostatic Mixing Valves

    Thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) are essential for water safety, blending hot and cold water to prevent scalding. Required for baths and showers, they should also be used on hand basins, especially in schools. This CPD will cover what TMVs are, their importance, classifications, and relevant regulations.

  • CPD 06:
    Sealed Heating Systems

    Sealed heating systems, or closed-circuit systems, are more efficient and reliable than open-vented systems. This CPD will cover the definition of pressure, how to calculate it, and managing water expansion in sealed systems.

  • CPD 05:
    Expansion Vessels

    Expansion vessels are crucial for designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting closed-loop heating and cooling systems, ensuring safety and efficiency. This course covers vessel types, industry standards, maintenance best practices, and provides CPD credits approved by CIBSE.

  • CPD 04:
    Drivers for Change and Understanding the BESA HIU Test Regime

    The BESA UK HIU test ensures Heat Interface Units (HIUs) meet high efficiency and reliability standards. This module covers energy consumption, heat network processes, regulations, and the BESA UK HIU test.

  • CPD 03:
    System Design For Efficiency for Using Electronic Intelligent HIUs

    Heat Interface Units (HIUs) efficiently provide centralized heating and hot water to multi-dwelling buildings. This 40-minute CIBSE-approved CPD on electronic, intelligent HIUs covers energy and design considerations, the CIBSE Guide KS7, and product solutions.

  • CPD 02:
    Legionella Considerations When Reactivating Buildings

    This 30-minute CIBSE-approved CPD covers Legionella risks in recently dormant buildings. It addresses water systems pre-COVID-19, changes during shutdowns, building types, risk factors, control measures, and other considerations.

  • CPD 01:
    Pressure Reducing Valves

    This 30-minute CPD on pressure reducing valves (PRVs) explains their role in stabilizing water pressure in residential systems. You will learn why PRVs are used, the difference between static and dynamic PRVs, and how to fit, size, and manage them for high and low demand.
