Renewable energy is increasingly important to housing associations, local authorities, planners and building developers. This one-day course gives an introduction to the common low carbon technologies of solar thermal, solar PV, heat pumps, biomass, wind energy and combined heat and power.

• Explore what technologies are viable and in what circumstances
• Benefits they are likely to deliver in cost and carbon
• What planning conditions apply
• The latest policy framework and how the new Feed in Tariff and Renewable Heat Incentive schemes impact on payback

The course is ideally suited for professionals within the built environment (Architects, Energy Managers, Energy Assessors, Building Control and Planners) and will equip you with a solid understanding of how each technology works and which is more suited to retrofit or new build. An interactive workshop session provides simple tools and rules of thumb to evaluate costs, energy savings and carbon benefits and choose appropriate technologies for typical projects. On completion you should be able to evaluate tenders and specifications with confidence and gauge best value renewable solutions for your organisation.
