Energy Assessor & Low Carbon Consultant Courses In The London Area

Gareth Griffiths — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 10:47:34 GMT

Hello,

I have been asked by my employer to find courses in the London area in order to become a licensed energy assessor and be able to produce EPCs and SBEM calculations. Does anyone know of any course providers who run energy assessor and low carbon design courses which use the Hevacomp design software package in the London area or around the Surrey/Berkshire area? Any help anyone could provide would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gareth

CIBSE weather data set

Gareth Griffiths — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 17:05:44 GMT

Hello,

I have just uploaded the full set of .csv files from the CIBSE weather data for all 3 sites within London and I am struggling to apply them within Hevacomp. When I try to use CIBSE data set in the standard menu it is still giving me the error message 'Weather file not found on disc. CIBSE weather data must be purchased before use.' I can browse for the .csv files but do not know which data set to use in order to run a summer design year simulation. I believe the closet weather set to the site I am looking at is London Weather Centre but I do not know weather using future data or existing weather data is the best way to go. Any help anyone could give would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gareth

Building Fabrics - Lead

Gareth Griffiths — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 14:26:12 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to model a lead roof using hevacomp to calculate the heat loss through a lead roof but I cannot find lead as a layer option when creating a new roof in the Fabric Data tab. Does anyone have any advice on this? I have tried adding a solid material but I cannot find the value for the vapour resistivity of lead anywhere.

Many thanks
