With over 70 years of experience in the HVAC industry, our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) presentations will help you collect accredited hours while giving useful, relevant, and up-to-date information on how to improve how you specify the systems within your buildings.
Our CPDs are designed to help building professionals understand different HVAC technologies, from project application to potential routes to compliance. All our presenters are trained by GDHV, and have extensive experience within the HVAC industry to better understand your requirements.
Our CPDs presentations and courses can be delivered at your offices or online, via Microsoft Teams.
CPD Topics
How smart can electric heating be?
This presentation demonstrates the demand for electric heating products in relation to the many environmental policy changes affecting our industry. It includes the many features and benefits of smart electric products, and their potential uses for meeting environmental the targets of the future. Housing developers, architects, and energy and social housing professionals will gain a valuable insight into understanding this important consideration that should be made when heating buildings.
Finding the path to Part L compliance
This presentation explores some of the potential routes housing developers can take to achieve 2013 Part L compliance with electric heating. It is aimed at housing developers, architects, consultants, engineers, energy professionals, and social housing professionals looking to integrate electric heating into domestic dwellings or those looking to increase their knowledge of electric heating systems.
Ground source heat pump collectors; evaluating the options
This short CPD course covers the different GSHP collector options available on the market and highlights the technical advantages and limitations of each system. It provides some rules of thumb used within the industry and guidance on where to go when more detailed analysis is required. This CPD is suitable for anyone considering a GSHP project and wants to understand the different collector options available on the market.
Introduction to heat pump technology

How does combining HVAC technologies maximise development ROI and help improve the energy efficiency of developments?
Innovative low carbon hybrid electric technologies are increasingly coming into focus for modern developments where electrifying HVAC technologies can help maximise the ROI and improve energy efficiency. Changing legislation focuses on increasing energy efficiency standards for new domestic dwellings. The move away from natural gas is expected to become necessary for new residential buildings by 2025 and could be beneficial for their compliance from 2022.
Brrrrrr-acing for Winter
The shortest day and longest night of the year will fall on December 21st., marking the winter solstice and the start of the coldest of the seasons. While other definitions place the start of winter as December 1st, temperatures have been falling steadily since the summer and the solstice is a timely reminder that heating indoor spaces will only become tougher as we journey into the new year.
What are the barriers to increasing uptake of low carbon heating technologies?

With heat accounting for approximately a third of the UK’s greenhouse emissions, the decarbonisation and electrification of heating in homes will play a central role in achieving the UK’s 2050 net-zero carbon target. The transition from prolific use of high carbon fossil fuels to low carbon heating presents the industry with many challenges. The relatively short space of time in which environmental targets need to be achieved means that the electrification of heating must be accomplished at great speed.
