Stream One is Ground Source Heat Pumps for engineers and is aimed at anyone involved in NETTZERO strategy and planning.
This CPD certified course addresses rules of thumb as not accurate enough for a good design and focuses on developing understanding within the design process.
It examines types of heat pump, the various sources of energy including vertical and horizontal collectors as well as water source collectors. It also focuses on the correct application, whether it be for new build or retrofit properties.
Simply complete the course in your own time by watching each unit presentation then completing each unit assessment. If you get anything wrong please re watch the presentation and try the assessment again. The CPD certified Stream 1 certificate will be issued after all the unit presentations and each assessment is satisfactorily completed.
