The course will introduce many building engineering systems from water supply, plumbing and drainage, through heating and ventilation systems to more complex systems for air conditioning. It will emphasise the relative merits of different systems and explain the context of current regulatory and professional practice related both to design and maintenance.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, you will have an understanding of the following:
- Mechanical services issues and their engineering background
- How construction affects building services
- A wide knowledge of a range of different HVAC systems
- How the services integrate with building performance
- Legislative requirements
Feedback
'[I learned]...various mechanical systems which can be applied to the projects I shall be working on and have a clear idea of how they might work in collaboration with the other elements in the building / project'
'It was indeed a great learning experience and brush up [on] mechanical skill sets'
'A good course with a very knowledgeable trainer who presented and explained the mechanical systems very well'
This three-day course is suitable for those needing a knowledge in mechanical building services who may not have had any formal training directly in mechanical services.
This course is ideally suited to those who:
- Have been given additional responsibility for mechanical engineering services
- Have responsibility for estates and engineering personnel or contractors
- Facilities Managers with overall responsibility for buildings and their services
- Maintenance Managers
- Are a specialist in another branch of engineering but find they now have to understand mechanical services systems
