Next, our Energy Efficiency Course - This course is designed to provide practising workers with the knowledge required to advise customers on how to get the best from their central heating system. This is a completely classroom-based course - You will learn about: energy efficiency considerations, the environment, customer benefits, boiler efficiency, SEDBUK ratings, CHESS best practice, combination boiler, soakaways, radiator sizing, boiler sizing, weather compensation, commissioning systems. This is just a 1-day course but will be very impactful if used effectively!
