Breathing Buildings, a leading provider of controlled natural and hybrid ventilation systems, is delighted to announce that its ‘Ventilation for Education and Commercial Buildings’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course is now approved by CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers). The course is designed to give attendees a better understanding of the different ventilation strategies that can be used in education and commercial buildings, with a focus on natural, hybrid and hybrid heat recovery technology, and why these systems are needed under current building regulations.
Continuing Professional Development is a long-term commitment to undertake, maintain, improve, and broaden knowledge and skills. CIBSE members are required by the Code of Professional Conduct to maintain professional competence with CIBSE providing clear guidance and support for professional development to enable members to develop their career. Breathing Buildings’ aim is to help construction professionals widen their knowledge regarding the different ventilation strategies available to ensure buildings have energy efficient ventilation that improves indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort.
The Breathing Buildings ‘Ventilation for Education and Commercial Buildings’ CPD therefore provides delegates with a greater understanding of:
- The basics of natural ventilation
- Mixing ventilation
- New hybrid heat recovery and mixing systems
- Current requirements and legislation affecting buildings
- Ventilation strategies
- Examples of natural ventilation applications.
Within the one-hour CPD delegates will have the opportunity to find out more about the next generation of sustainable hybrid ventilation with heat recovery, such as the company’s NVHRe – Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery. This is timely since the CPD comes as CIBSE introduced a mandatory requirement from 2024 for members to undertake CPD courses around sustainability and safety.
