Ideal Heating Commercial CPD - Surveying the Modern Plant Room

With the heating industry undergoing a period of change as they look to decarbonise, Ideal Heating are pleased to release a completely revised version of one of their most popular CPDs, on surveying of plant rooms.

‘Surveying the modern plant room - from boilers to heat pumps’ is a CIBSE-approved CPD that is focussed firmly on the modern plant room.  It addresses plant room surveying, along with the evolution of the plant room and heat source technology over recent years brought about, in part, through legislation and product innovation.

The new CPD provides invaluable advice on the various stages involved in surveying a plant room; from assessment and the requirements for a replacement heat source, through to the potential risks associated with heating system replacement and how to identify these.

As pioneers of practical solutions for decarbonising commercial heating, Ideal Heating's CPD concentrates on modern, energy-efficient plant room retrofits using heat pumps, such as their ECOMOD range. Hybrid systems, which include heat pumps with modern condensing gas boilers as a back-up, are also addressed as an alternative solution where heat pumps alone are not feasible.

The new CPD also looks at latest legislation and regulations, and touches on best practice when commissioning.

This new CPD, ‘Surveying the modern plant room - from boilers to heat pumps,’ is suitable for all levels of mechanical engineers from graduate through to senior, director and associate, sustainability engineers, building services engineers, engineering technicians, incorporated engineers, chartered engineers and YEN Young Engineers, as well as building contractors and consultants.

Commenting on the release of the new CPD, Richard Brown, Head of Specification, said: 

“With the heating industry undergoing change as we move towards decarbonisation, how we approach and survey a plant room must also be modified.  Our new CPD addresses the requirement to decarbonise heating systems and improve energy efficiency from an understanding that, in many circumstances, heat pumps alone may not be viable, and we may need to consider a hybrid approach.  The CPD helps engineers to look at the overall plant room and decide upon the most effective approach.”

This latest CIBSE-approved CPD joins Ideal Heating's expanding collection of educational resources, which cover the latest industry developments and provides advice on new ways to add value, performance and efficiency to customer heating projects.  Further CPDs address low carbon systems, heat networks and heat interface units, heat pump refrigerants, and boiler heat exchanger materials.
