Rooftops represent the most available, sustainable and secure real estate, which is why low-slope and steep-slope roofs are increasingly being used as platforms for photovoltaic systems. Low-slope roofs (commonly used for commercial buildings) and steep-slope roofs (commonly used for single-family residences) have separate challenges when integrating PV systems. Information from the roofing industry and roofing manufacturer requirements will be provided as well as numerous photographs. INSTRUCTOR BIO: James R. Kirby, AIA, is Vice President of Sustainability for the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing, Washington, DC. Kirby has expertise in roof system design and construction, weatherproofing and energy-efficiency of the building envelope, and rooftop PV systems. His responsibilities include serving as liaison for the Center's PV taskforce, representing the roofing industry at sustainability-focused events, and presenting sustainability-based technical information to roofing and other construction trades within the US and internationally.

About this VILT Tripod can be used in any area of business where the organisation has a management system in place to prevent unwanted events e.g., health, safety, environment, quality, security, productivity, project management, and many more Tripod Beta is one of several tools based on Tripod's fundamental principles. Tripod Beta is based on proven theories, man years of academic research, and testing in the workplace. The Swiss Cheese Model originated from this work. Features of the methodology are: 1) the Tripod Beta diagram; it provides an easy-to-read summary of the entire investigation on a single page, 2) it accommodates deficiencies in leadership and worker participation, 3) it accommodates deficiencies in human behaviour, and 4) it highlights missing controls (not just controls that failed). Quality throughout all aspects of Tripod is assured by the Stichting Tripod Foundation (STF) and the Energy Institute. The participants will gain a theoretical understanding of the Tripod Beta methodology and terminology. They will be able to read Tripod diagrams and reports, and be able to assist incident investigation/analysis as a team member. This is the first step to becoming an accredited silver or gold practitioner. Tripod Beta Practitioner Accreditation is meant to build these skills, through a blend of support, coaching and assessments. Feedback is provided on Tripod incident investigation reports, giving the Practitioner the opportunity to hone their skills and become confident in their ability to use Tripod effectively. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Pass the Tripod Beta Practitioner (Bronze Level) exam Act as a team member or Tripod facilitator on an incident investigation Plan and schedule activities for an incident investigation Focus line of enquiry during an investigation Engage with the most relevant people at each stage of the investigation Describe the incident causation paths in terms that align with their management system Consider issues relating to leadership, worker participation and human behaviour Assess the quality of an incident report Apply the process to any type of unwanted event that should have been prevented by a management system e.g., health, safety, environment, financial, security, productivity, quality, project management etc. Combine the findings from many incidents with data from other initiatives e.g., audits and inspections, to spot trends to prioritise actions and product a single improvement plan Target Audience The course is recommended for anyone who is expected to play a role in designing, reviewing, auditing, and following your organizations OH&S management system. Successful participants will be awarded the Stitching Tripod Foundation Tripod Beta Bronze certificate. The following oil & gas company personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: CEO Team Leaders Legal, insurance and finance departments Managers (Line and Function) Maintenance Engineers Quality Assurance Engineers Process Engineers Incident Investigators (Team member & Tripod facilitator) Project Managers System Custodians Technical Authorities Key Contractor's Management Contract Managers/Holders Safety Representatives Risk Management Engineers HSE Advisors Supervisors Auditors Regulators Course Level Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader has over 30 years of experience in construction, operations and maintenance with the upstream exploration and production sector. He joined Shell International E&P in 1971 and for 28 years worked in several locations around the world. Following the Piper Alpha incident he led Shell's two year, £10M major overhaul of their permit to work system. He first made use of the Tripod Beta principles during this period and since then he has delivered over 100 Tripod Beta courses in more than 25 locations around the world. He is a Chartered Engineer, a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and holds a postgraduate diploma from the University of Birmingham (UK).

About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) Governments, regulators and energy companies are pursuing CO2 storage technologies to meet their net-zero carbon commitments as well as targets set by the international Paris Agreement on climate change. For successfully executing Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) projects, various technical, operational, economic and environmental risks and associated stakeholders need to be managed. In this 5 half-day Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course, the methods for managing risk in CCS projects are addressed with a focus on CO2 injection and storage. The VILT course will also demonstrate how to assess storage capacity of a potential CO2 storage reservoir, model framing techniques, and well injectivity issues related to CO2 injection. The potential leak paths will be discussed such as reservoir seals, leakage along faults and aspects of well integrity. In the VILT course, the design of a monitoring programme will also be discussed. The VILT course will be supported by various case studies. This VILT course will cover the following modules: CCS projects in an international context Site selection and site characterization Storage capacity assessment Injectivity assessment Containment assessment Measurement, monitoring & verification Training Objectives On completion of this VILT course, participants will be able to: Uncover the functions and associated components required to capture, transport and store CO2 in subsurface aquifers and (depleted) hydrocarbon reservoirs Find a systematic and integrated approach to risk identification and assessment for CO2 storage projects (maturation) Appreciate the requirements (physics modelling) and uncertainties to assess the CO2 storage capacity of a selected site. Understand the challenges, data and methods to assess CO2 well injectivity and well integrity Identify the leakage pathways of a selected storage site, and understand the assessment methods and associated uncertainties Learn how to design a monitoring program Target Audience This VILT course is intended for all surface and subsurface engineers such as facility engineers, geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, production technologists/engineers, well engineers and geomechanical specialists. Also, (sub)surface team leads, project managers, business opportunity managers, decision executives, and technical risk assessment & assurance specialists will benefit from this VILT course as it provides a common framework and workflow to develop a CCS project. For each class, it is highly recommended that a mix of disciplines mentioned above are represented to facilitate discussions from different perspectives. Course Level Basic or Foundation Training Methods This VILT course is built around cases in which teams work to identify and assess CO2 storage site issues using a systematic thought approach in this course. In addition, exercises are used to practise the aspects of the CCS risk assessment process. The VILT course provides a venue for discussion and sharing of good practices as well as opportunities to practise multi-discipline co-operation and facilitation. Participants are encouraged to bring their own work issues and challenges and seek advice from the expert course leaders and other participants about all aspects of CCS. This VILT course will be delivered online in 5 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day.
