Euroheat introduce renewable energy awareness course
24 March 2009
A two day Renewable Energy Technologies Awareness course for architects, developers and specifiers has been introduced as part of a package of nine new courses at Euroheats' National Biomass Training Centre and Showroom.
The course is run by Euroheat’s training director Gordon White who is an approved HETAS and BPEC trainer, and takes place on 28-29 April and 3-4 June 2009. It aims to provide an understanding of the issues, economics and technologies surrounding the installation of renewable energy systems in a domestic setting including solar thermal water heating, domestic scale biomass systems, heat pumps, wind power, micro-hydro and photo-voltaic systems.Course content ranges from understanding the best uses for each technology through to grants available, planning and building control issues, CO2 savings for each technology and payback times.
“ In the light of rising fuel costs and average gas bills exceeding £1,000 a year, there is huge demand for a course like this. It is perfect for architects, builders, housing developers and local building control officers. Individuals wishing to know more after attending the course can progress to either Full or Defined Scope courses depending on their existing skills and qualifications,” explains Gordon White.
