What is a CPD?
The term CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, in simple terms it’s about developing your professional knowledge, skills and competence. In fast moving industries such as building services engineering, keeping your technical knowledge and experience up to date is essential, especially with the development of new technology, regulations and sustainability targets.
What does it mean to be a CIBSE Approved CPD?
When a course is Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) approved, it means the course has passed a rigorous audit by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers. CIBSE’s review panel carefully assesses each application, including the course content and learning outcomes, confirming it offers accurate technical information and adheres to the institution’s highest educational standards. Only once it meets these high benchmarks is the course granted the CIBSE approved status, signifying its educational value.
CPD Spotlight: Advanced PHE Concepts
Virdis Energy is proud to announce that, in partnership with our supplier, we now offer a CIBSE-approved CPD course focused on mastering the critical details of system design. This valuable, 1 hour module (worth 1 CPD hour) is a fantastic opportunity for engineers and building services professionals who already have a working knowledge of Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs) but need a deeper, more specialised understanding for complex applications.
Interested in this CPD? Contact us to enquire.
This course is specifically designed to focus on the impact of temperature variations on the design and performance of PHEs. PHE performance is highly sensitive to flow rates and design temperatures, miscalculating or mis-specifying these variables is a common error that can lead to incorrectly sized equipment which in turn can cause thermal inefficiencies or even operational failure.
By attending this CPD, professionals will be able to:
- Deepen their expertise in advanced Plate Heat Exchanger design.
- Explore the critical impact of temperature on overall efficiency and lifecycle costs.
- Apply these precise insights to both new projects and sustainable retrofit solutions.
Conclusion
Attending a CIBSE approved CPD is a strategic investment in your quality of work, it ensures you remain at the technical forefront of the building services industry.
This CPD is a must for professionals involved in Mechanical, HVAC, Water, and Energy Efficiency design. Interested in learning more about the specific technical insights from this course? Get in touch with our team today.
