Introduction:

It is a Government priority to ensure that existing and new heating installers are competent to install and maintain energy-efficient domestic heating/hot water systems. The Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating qualification has been developed to prepare heating installers for the change in the Building Regulations and to encourage them to have a positive attitude to high efficiency products based on sound knowledge and product confidence. The Building Regulations 2001 Part L1 are broad based regulations covering the building and ‘controlled services’ equipment in new and existing domestic properties.

Course objectives/key benefits:

On completion delegates will have a greater understanding of the requirements of Part L.

Who the course is aimed at:

The qualification is relevant to those people who undertake individual customer-based roles and who are responsible for advising on designing and installing energy efficient heating and hot water systems. It may also be relevant to those people who specify the installation and maintenance of the heating/hot water system and to those who provide training and development for installers and specifiers.
