This Practical Heat Pump Surveying training, one-day CPD course attracts 5 CPD points, and is specifically designed for individuals and companies that want to train themselves and their staff on exactly how to carry out Heat Pump Site Surveying and show how to produce specific room-by-room heat loss calculations for use by installation companies.
The course differs from our extensive 2-day Renewables Technical Surveying course in that this one-day session is about the practical aspects of surveying for heat pumps, as opposed to explaining how existing and low temperature heating systems work along with the methodology behind the surveying process.
For attending this course we automatically assume that candidates will already have a basic/good knowledge of existing home heating systems and building construction processes combined with identifying varying building fabric elements.
This practical surveying course is primarily aimed at Energy Suppliers, Equipment Manufacturers, Renewables Installers, Domestic Energy Assessors, Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Co-ordinators, Renewables sales staff and suitable for individuals with a reasonable level of knowledge in varying building structures, heating systems and varying renewable technologies.
Note: This 1 day course is an interactive course you will be required to have your camera active for the duration of the day.
During this training course we will provide the following:
Morning - Practical training on gathering Heat Pump Site Survey data using digital software
Afternoon - Practical training on digitally completing Heat Loss Calculations using digital software
The course will provide learners with intuitive guidance on how to procure common surveying software. Fully complete Heat Pump site surveys using digital floor planning software, and the efficient completion of digital survey form data. The course also runs through how to use common digital software packages to produce room-by-room heat loss calculations to send to your clients.
Morning Session (Starts 0930hrs)
Brief introduction on the complete surveying process 'Start to Finish'
Using the correct surveying equipment for surveys
Using common floor planning software packages - A run through floor planning packages and their individual benefits
Note: All Learners are required to download and go through a basic user tutorial on how to use the floor planning software we plan to use prior to course attendance - Links are provided prior to the course start date. We do not make allowances for candidates that have not downloaded the floor planning software or attended the free tutorial on how to use it, if you are unable to use the software on a basic level you may be asked to leave the course and re-attend on a different day. There is no charge for re-attendance.
Recording an MCS020 compliant Noise Level Assessment
Local planning restrictions specifically relating to the siting of Heat Pump outdoor units
Recording typical heating system pipework and other emitter pipework
Recording suitable locations for the Installation of Heat Pumps & Hot Water Cylinders
Getting started using digital floor planning software
Inputting form data for basic health & safety purposes, Building Construction Elements and current Heating System Elements
Course Tutorial (Video) - Using our preconfigured 360 degree walkthrough and detailed site measurements provided we will show you how to complete the survey form information and draw up a typical survey floorplan design from start to finish.
Short Q & A Session
Learner Task - Using a second preconfigured 360 degree property walkthrough and additional detailed site measurements, using the downloaded digital floorplan software learners will carry out a detailed a Heat Pump Survey of their own, for use in producing room-by-room heat loss calculations - we guide learners step-by-step through the process.
Providing relevant site video evidence - We show you our site videos relating to the survey we have shown you and discuss how and explain why we provide good video evidence to clients
Short Q & A Session
Afternoon Session (Completes 16:30hrs)
Using common Heat Loss software packages - We show learners a few of the heat loss software packages currently available before finally going through a sample of one of these packages to produce a detailed Heat Loss Report
Note: All Learners are required to download the 'Training version' of the Heat Loss software prior to course attendance - Links are provided prior to the course start date. We do not make allowances for candidates that have not downloaded the Heat Loss software, if you have not downloaded the heat loss software and are not ready to complete a heat loss calculation, you may be asked to leave the course and re-attend on a different day. There is no charge for re-attendance.
Using the 'Course Tutorial' as the basis for completing a Heat Loss Report we guide learners through how to use this information to formulate a room by room heat loss calculation using the heat loss software we have provided.
Learner Task - Using the 'Learner Task' floorplan completed on the Morning Session we provide learners with guidance whilst they complete their own room by room heat loss calculation report using the heat loss software we have provided.
We finally provide information and guidance on how to save and send a completed heat loss report to clients.
Short Q & A Session
Available course dates are Monday 3rd Feb, Monday 10th Feb, Monday 17th Feb and Monday 24th Feb
Course duration is one day 0930hrs to 1645hrs
