Description
This CPD session, led by Hamworthy’s Barry Walsh, outlines best practices for surveying and refurbishing commercial heating and hot water systems, emphasising safety, system performance, and energy efficiency through structured assessment and modern solutions.
3 Key Points
- A Thorough Site Survey is Essential
Accurate data collection on plant room conditions, equipment performance, and building use forms the foundation for a safe, compliant, and cost-effective system upgrade. - Safety and Compliance Must Be Prioritized
Attention to asbestos, carbon monoxide, gas safety, and legionella control is vital for protecting occupants and meeting legal standards. - Modern Modular Equipment and Controls Improve Outcomes
Modular boilers, effective water treatment, and integration with BMS systems offer flexibility, energy savings, and operational efficiency in refurbishments.
3 Learning Objectives
- Conduct a structured and comprehensive site survey that identifies key risks, opportunities, and system performance factors.
- Apply safety best practices during refurbishment projects, including risk management for asbestos, gas supply, and legionella prevention.
- Evaluate and specify modern heating and hot water solutions, such as modular boilers and advanced controls, for improved efficiency and adaptability.
