Best practice heating & hot water plant refurbishment CPD Hamworthy’s CIBSE-accredited CPD looks at the best way to carry out an assessment on the current heating and hot water plant. This course would benefit contractors, consultants, specifiers and facilities managers who will gain an understanding of systems and their application, refurbishment best practice, and how to identify areas for improvement in the plantroom. See page 102 for more information and how to book. Don’t forget room sealed appliances need ventilation too.
