A one day non-technical training seminar being
run on a quarterly basis which provides an introduction
to the main renewable energy technologies, to
include grants, planning issues and combining
the different technologies. The training is held
in Milton Keynes but can be offered elsewhere
on request.
This
one day training course introduces and explains
the main renewable energy technologies including:-
- Solar Water Heating
- Wood Fuel Heating
- Ground Source Heat Pumps
- Solar Photovoltaics and
- Small to Medium Scale Wind
The
course includes interactive sessions in which
delegates will discuss the most appropriate renewable
energy technology for a number of different scenarios.
Every effort is made to ensure that any questions
that delegates may have about renewable energy
are answered - if we can not answer them on the
day, we will send out our answers after the event.

This course is aimed at advisors; local authority
staff; energy managers and householders who want
an introduction to the main renewable energy technologies,
to include grants, planning issues, economics
and combining the different technologies. No previous
knowledge of renewable energy is assumed. The
course provides a general introduction to the
technical aspects of each technology but does
not provide in depth training in this area which
will instead be covered in the technology specific
courses.

you in meeting your learning objectives.
