Panasonic UK is running a series of interactive, online accredited CIBSE CPD courses to enhance skills during these unprecedented times. The CPD courses have been developed to support learning in a variety of heating and cooling disciplines and are run by the experienced and knowledgeable team at Panasonic via Microsoft Teams.
The sessions typically last approximately one hour and are free to participate. Delegates need to register in advance and can interact and ask questions throughout the sessions. There is currently a choice of five accredited CIBSE CPDs that are running during the Autumn/Winter months and are so far proving very popular, as follows:
- Principles of Air Conditioning – Overview of Splits/VRF Technology
This is an introduction to the principles of air conditioning. The session details the fundamentals of air conditioning and goes on to describe the refrigeration cycle, heating and cooling load calculations, system components and unit selections.
- An Introduction to Air to Water Technology
This CPD looks at using heat pumps to heat water and compares these systems to traditional gas boilers and further provides advice into system design and components. The session also goes through calculating heat losses in houses and sizing heat emitters.
- Overview of Gas Heat Pumps (GHP) Technology
The history and development of using gas as the power source for a VRF system. The CPD explains why this type of solution may be considered as an alternative to electric. The session compares the two options and details the design of the system.
