About this Course:

CIBSE ANZ Electrical Services Training is a three-day course that forms part of a new building services series of face-to-face training that is launching in Australia and New Zealand.

This course introduces Electrical Services as a core discipline within building services engineering. This includes an overview of what Electrical Services are, their importance and design, and the vitality of how they integrate into the overarching building and construction process.

Who should attend:

This course is suited to those in the early stages of their electrical services career and those specialising in other areas of the construction and the building services industry who wish to gain a better understanding of electrical services design principles.

Learning outcomes:

On completion of this course you will have an understanding of the following:

  • Statutory, Cost and Technical considerations for Electrical Services design and component selection
  • minimum standard requirements and best practices in Electrical Services design
  • key components of the electrical plant and systems
  • the complexities and interrelatedness of Electrical Services and other building services, which ensure/reflect a people-first approach, over a building-first mindset.
  • key aspects of Electrical Services including Generation, Distribution, Reticulation and Cabling, Load Demand Testing and Commissioning and Lighting
  • the importance of focusing on the comfort, health, wellbeing, and safety of the people who might occupy the building, and the appropriateness of the sustainability strategy in relation to those people.
