UK manufacturer secures RIBA approval for ventilation CPD

EnviroVent, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of high performance and energy efficient ventilation systems and extractor fans, has obtained approval from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for its CPD (Continuous Professional Development) course which covers the various ventilation strategies and the best practices to ensure compliance with building regulations.

The RIBA CPD created by EnviroVent outlines the roadmap to ventilation compliance and considers the current environmental and political drivers in ensuring good indoor air quality through efficient ventilation. The course is delivered by a fully qualified ventilation specialist in the form of an hour-long seminar, which covers the key areas on the subject of ensuring ventilation is efficient and not just adequate.

The course includes technical theory around the ventilation strategies of Approved Document F and the minimum requirements of Approved Document L and covers the following topics:

  • The health impacts of poor ventilation and indoor air quality
  • Technical theory and specification
  • Approved Document Parts F and L and the ventilation strategies
  • The levels of competency required for installation and key compliance documents
  • Best Practice installation, commissioning and design of ventilation systems
  • Long-term aftercare and maintenance of ventilation systems

Rebecca McLean, Marketing and Product Director at EnviroVent, explains:

“We are delighted that our latest ventilation CPD course is now RIBA approved. The CPD is ideal for assisting architects and technicians in providing the most accurate specification of ventilation products and best practice installation.”

EnviroVent’s CPD courses deliver informative and highly relevant know-how on using the most effective and energy efficient ventilation solutions to ventilate homes.  All attendees will receive a RIBA CPD certificate which shows the name of the course attended and the CPD hours undertaken.

In addition to offering CPDs, EnviroVent has a dedicated ventilation showroom at its training centre in Harrogate. The showroom contains working installations of the various ventilation units, where the ducting and airflows can clearly be seen. Architects and other visitors are invited to make an appointment and receive a demonstration of the operation of ventilation products and how these help to reduce humidity levels and prevent condensation and mould from forming in a home.

EnviroVent’s training centre in Harrogate is also approved to deliver NICEIC ventilation training courses which include practicals and exams.
