Transforming Timber Enterprise

Trawsnewid Menter Pren | Transforming Timber Enterprise: Inspiration, knowledge and skills for a zero-carbon built environment.  A series of 'How-to' training events for built environment professionals and students, delivered in collaboration with CWIC.

The period of low-cost energy is over. To address ‘affordable warmth’ as well as our climate change obligations we need to use a lot less energy and at the same time switch to renewable forms of energy. How do we successfully deliver higher performance building fabric, shift rapidly to renewables and get it right? An essential step on this journey is to measure and understand how our buildings are performing in reality. Building Performance Evaluation is rapidly becoming a central feature of creating better buildings that work. This ‘How To’ event will demonstrate practical methods for measuring how our homes and buildings are performing in reality that can be understood and adopted by housing providers and their design teams.The BPE monitoring techniques used during this workshop include:<ul><li>Pulse Test (Air Tightness)</li><li>SmartHTC (whole building heat loss)</li><li>Heat Flow Plates (u-values)</li></ul>Audience: Housing development professionals, architects, surveyors, studentsFormat: In person event - max. 20 places Speakers: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-jack-45558523/?originalSubdomain=uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Richard Jack</a> (Build Test Solutions) and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-diana-waldron-2a236319/?originalSubdomain=uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Diana Waldron</a> (Woodknowledge Wales)PROGRAMMEPart 1 	Theory: Theory, Case Studies and Q&amp;A of the various BPE techniques Part 2 Practice: Demonstration and hands-on use of the equipment within real buildings undergoing testing.
