Vent-Axia CPD Seminars

Parts F and L 2010 (1 hour)

Agenda

• History of Part F
• Air tightness in residential buildings
• Building regulations
- New ADF
- New ADL
• Part F ventilation requirements
• Case Studies
• Summary and Questions

This seminar will overview Parts L1A and F1A and discuss how they work together. The seminar will also demonstrate the various ventilation solutions within the AD F 2010 document with animations showing how they work.

It explains most energy efficient solutions to compliment Part L and demonstrate best practice in the design and installation of MVHR systems and the relevance of the systems to the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Case studies are used to show MVHR systems can help in various situations such as noise ingress problems and energy efficient dwellings.

Seminar duration is 1 hour with questions and a certificate will be sent to all delegates.

Scottish Building Standards For Ventilation 2010 (1 hour)

Agenda

• The new structure
• Design performance
• Section 3 - Domestic Ventilation Systems
• Air Permeability and Performance
• Section 6 - Energy and Ventilation Overview
• Summary and Questions

This seminar outlines the changes to the Scottish Building Standards and Technical Handbooks 3 and 6.

It covers the different ventilation systems within the regulations with animated examples to explain how they work.

It addresses the importance of Low Carbon motors and why MVHR is the most energy efficient and effective ventilation system, helping designers and developers meet the ever demanding building regulation requirements.

Seminar duration is 1 hour with questions and a certificate will be sent to all delegates.

Energy Efficient Commercial Ventilation – The Latest Developments (1 hour)

Agenda

• The Key Energy Market Drivers
• Energy and Legislation
• Energy Efficient Technology Overview
• Demand Ventilation
• Low Carbon Motor Technology
• Control Strategies
• Applications

This seminar covers energy efficient ventilation, sensors and controls driven by the changes to Building Regulations ADL.
It explains the technology behind the highly efficient EC/DC motor and how it can help meet specific fan power requirements.
The seminar introduces Demand Ventilation that allows single and twin in-line ventilation systems to be controlled through a range of switches and sensors to match airflows with air quality targets.
Various applications are demonstrated using animated examples.
The seminar duration is one hour.

Energy Recovery for Schools – The Latest Developments (1 hour)

Agenda

• Market Drivers – Energy & Environment – Legislation
• Design & Installation – Energy waste – Indoor Air Quality
• The Need for Control – Demand Ventilation
• Energy Recovery Technology – Plate Heat Exchanger
• Application – Classroom Demand Energy Recovery Ventilation
• Case Study Workshop – Whitecross Schools Conference
• Summary
• Q&A

This seminar covers demand ventilation incorporating energy recovery specifically for use in classrooms and meeting rooms.
Driven by legislation, Part L and Bulletin 101, energy recovery is used to recover not only heat but also cold air, thus reducing heating and cooling loads without over ventilating.
The highly efficient 90% plus aluminium plate heat exchanger is explained graphically in slides showing maximum energy savings for both heating and cooling loads. The system is shown in animation working with a room mounted CO2 sensor that adjusts the ventilation rates as required.
The Whitecross Schools Conference is also covered which discusses the benefits of mechanical ventilation over natural.

Low Carbon Ventilation (1 hour)

Agenda

• The Background
• Part L requirements
• Part F ventilation options
• Low Carbon Motor Technology
• Low Carbon Ventilation uses in buildings
- Unitary
- MEV
- dMEV
- MVHR

• Commercial
- Demand Ventilation
- Demand Energy Recovery Ventilation

• Summary and Questions

This seminar looks at the impact of global warming on the environment and the effect it has had on Building Regulations.
It discusses Part L requirements to reduce carbon emissions and the resulting changes to Part F with animations to explain the systems, from unitary residential fans to commercial demand ventilation with energy recovery.
The seminar also explains the development of energy efficient EC/DC motors for use in both residential and commercial applications.
It also gives carbon reduction figures for the various products including whole house systems that incorporate heat recovery.
