Low Carbon Housing - Training Courses |
A training partnership between Irish architects and a UK energy
consultancy has led to this cutting edge course in low carbon housing
refurbishment to be developed specifically for Ireland. The course gives
building and housing professionals the chance to learn about the
practical issues that are essential knowledge for anyone considering a
housing refurbishment project, with the intent of reducing carbon
dioxide emissions and fuel bills while ensuring the most cost effective
approach.
Presented by Rickaby Thompson Associates and Scott +MacNeill Architects,
the course is entitled ‘Low Carbon Housing Refurbishment’ and draws on
the experiences of the two trainers - Dr Peter Rickaby and William
Scott who have over 50 years of combined experience in the field– plus
the experiences of many of the foremost experts and thought-leaders in
the field whose real life low carbon refurbished homes feature as case
studies.
The courses take place at Nova UCD, University College Dublin’s cutting
edge innovation and technology centre at the Belfield Campus. The next
course takes place on the 7th and 8th of July where a limited number of
places are available at the discounted price of €440 (full price €500)
with funding from the Eco Construction Skillnet. Further discounts are
also available to those currently seeking work.
The two-day training course covers the specific challenges of
refurbishing Irish housing stock, advanced insulation and airtightness
techniques, building services and technologies, cost and carbon saving
workshops, specification checklists, whole house approaches to retrofit,
reducing what’s left of the thermal load, and tackling the electric
power demand. The course contains carbon costing excercises and whole
house improvement workshops featuring SEAI’s DEAP software.
