They are: HVAC services pipework insulation this aims to give delegates increased knowledge and confidence to ask the correct questions when choosing appropriate insulation to suit a projects needs. Topics include: Standards and quality; Breeam; fire; corrosion; legionella; and calculating thicknesses. Pipe insulation thicknesses this aims to enable delegates to calculate pipe insulation thicknesses authoritatively, based on the relevant standards. It also offers guidance on how to deal with bespoke situations. Topics include: Standards; thermal conductivity; interpreting BS5422; manufacturers tables; calculating bespoke thicknesses; and custom insulation products entry. Presentations can be carried out over lunchtime at clients offices, with lunch arranged for free on request.
