Renewables Technical Surveying involves assessing residential buildings to determine the most suitable renewable energy solutions, such as solar panels, heat pumps, or biomass boilers. This process ensures that installations are efficient, effective, and tailored to the specific needs of each property.
Renewables Technical Surveying is crucial for ensuring the successful implementation of renewable energy systems in residential buildings. It helps identify the most appropriate technologies, assesses the feasibility of installations, and ensures compliance with regulations, ultimately leading to energy-efficient and sustainable solutions.
Typically, the short course takes 2 days, including both theoretical sessions and practical remote exercises.
This training course is ideal for individuals and companies involved in the design, installation, or maintenance of renewable energy systems in residential buildings. It is suitable for engineers, architects, energy consultants, building surveyors, and anyone else responsible for carrying out technical site surveys.
The training covers various aspects, including:
The basics of renewable energy technologies
Collecting reliable site data for calculation Heat Losses
Collecting reliable site data for calculation of Solar arrays & Batteries
Site survey techniques and tools
Setting up and using suitable software for Renewables Surveying
Using digital and analogue measurement equipment
Regulations and standards compliance
System design considerations
Basic Site Health and safety Checks
By participating in this training, individuals and companies can:
Enhance your technical knowledge and skills in renewables surveying
Improve the accuracy and effectiveness of site assessments
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
Increase confidence in recommending and implementing renewable energy solutions
Enhance the reputation and credibility of your deliverable services
