The course has three modules. The modules will share best practice as well as common mistakes made when designing, installing and running heating systems based on heat pumps.
Use the links below to access the recordings.
- Module 1 - Heat pumps, the basics.
- Module 2: The behaviour of the heating system. Designing a heating system in a new building with the heat pump in mind.
- Module 3: The behaviour of the heating system. Retrofitting an existing building to accommodate a heat pump as the main source of heating.
- The formulas required to take part in the exercises in modules 2 and 3.
It is not necessary to attend all three modules however a basic understanding of heat pumps is required to take part in modules 2 and 3. The modules will not explain how to design a system but focus solely on how to maximise efficiency when doing so.
