Vent-Axia CPD Seminars
Parts F, L and the Code for Sustainable Homes (1 hour)
Agenda
• Building Regulations – Where we are now
o Overview of Part L1A
o Overview of Part F1
• How they work together
• Relevance to the Code for Sustainable Homes
• New consultation documents
o Proposed changes to ADF
o Proposed changes to ADL
• Case Studies
• Summary and Questions
This seminar gives an overview of ADL and ADF and how they work together. It will also demonstrate the various ventilation solutions within Part F 2006 document with animations showing how they work.
It explains the most energy efficient solutions to compliment Part L including SAP Appendix Q and demonstrate best practice in the design and installation of MVHR systems.
The relevance of the systems to the Code for Sustainable Homes is also explained along with the proposed changes to ADF and ADL.
Case studies are used to show how MVHR systems are used in various situations such as noise ingress and air tight dwellings.
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
o Unitary
o MEV
o DMEV
o MVHR
• Commercial
o Demand Ventilation
o 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.
Installation Guide to MEV and MVHR Ventilation (1 hour)
Agenda
• Introduction
o Building Regulations Part L
o Building Regulations Part F
o Ventilation Systems and how they work
• Design and Quotations of System Ventilation MEV and MVHR
• Installation
o First Fix – Duct runs and Joining Best Practice
o Second Fix – Installing the Unit, controls, condense drain, terminations and diffusers
• Commissioning
• Faults and Probable Causes
This seminar will give guidance to existing or new installers of MEV and MVHR ventilation systems. It takes the installer through the various stages of the process from ductwork runs and jointing to installing the units and commissioning the system. The seminar closes with a look at some common faults and possible causes.
