Programme Overview
This 1 day course aims to provide participants with the knowledge in the general principles and practices of Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB). Attendees of the course will attain a comprehensive overview of the fundamental requirements to achieve compliance with NZEB building energy standards.
Covering all aspects of the required building energy performances and how compliance needs to be demonstrated, the NZEB course recognises the benefits of ensuring a primarily fabric first approach to residential buildings balanced with the buildings heating and mechanical services, including contribution from renewable sources. Key topics include Insulation, Airtightness, Thermal Bridging and Ventilation, ensuring that attendees understand the importance of integrating all elements in a coherent manner to offer high quality comfortable buildings with good levels of air quality without causing undue risks with overheating or condensation.
