UNFORTUNATELY THIS SEMINAR HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A LACK OF INTEREST
This seminar introduces delegates to the principles and practice of natural ventilation using state of the art laboratory and computer modelling techniques, and monitored case studies. It also gives delegates the opportunity to apply the ideas presented in a series of case studies.
The aims of the seminar are to:
-
bring together architects and engineers interested in using design concepts for low energy loads for buildings
-
introduce the concepts of natural ventilation in buildings and the challenges of its implementation
-
provide a forum for current design problems to be discussed
-
introduce new techniques available for the design of low energy buildings to comply with Building Regulations Parts L and F
Who should attend? This seminar is aimed at those interested in using design concepts to substantially reduce energy loads for buildings including: architects, building services engineers, engineering consultants and environmental engineers.
Speakers:
Professor Andrew Woods, BP Institute, University of Cambridge (www.bpi.cam.ac.uk|) – Professor Woods has extensive experience in the modelling of air flow through buildings and has published numerous articles on the fundamentals of natural ventilation.
Dr Shaun Fitzgerald BP Institute, University of Cambridge (www.bpi.cam.ac.uk|) – Dr Fitzgerald is an engineer who has undertaken fundamental research in natural ventilation and worked on low energy buildings providing consulting design services for clients ranging from FTSE100 firms to small architectural practices.
