Solar Thermal Training

Next date: 30th September 2009

Venue: Schüco International, Milton Keynes


This course has been approved by the Energy Institute and gives a unique opportunity to learn about Solar Thermal, from an independent expert on the topic, Griff Thomas.

 

 

 
  ::  About the Training Course     ::  Who should attend

Delegates will have the chance to examine the working parts of a solar thermal system as well as the training rig used by Schuco to train solar water heating installers.

The day is largely based on best practice in regard to the design and integration of solar thermal systems with building services, however it is not intended to a technically in depth course. Rather it is a one day introduction to solar thermal.

The course tutor, Griff Thomas knowledge on designing heating/hot water systems for domestic and commercial premises, combined with his involvement in developing minimum technical standards for installers, makes him an ideal tutor for this course.

Delegates are expected to be specifiers, developers, design consultants, housing stock managers and those generally who need or want to have a good understanding of solar thermal systems

This course is not aimed at specificiers of commercial hot solar water systems as the main focus is on domestic hot water.

 

  ::  What you will Learn     ::  Dates & Registration

We aim for delegates to leave the course feeling confident in the following topics:

•  Selection of the best type of system for different applications

•  Calculating effective contribution of solar thermal to heating/hot water

•  Practical guidance on the integration of solar thermal

•  Grant funding available

Delegates will also be able to network with potential suppliers, with adequate knowledge of the system types and requirements.
