This 1-day online course will show you how to use the IES Virtual Environment to perform overheating risk analyses for a variety of current guidelines and methodologies. Building Regulations which came into force in 2022 saw calculation of overheating risk taken out of Part L and replaced by a new Building Regulation supported by a new Approved Document O.
Please be aware that this Online training is delivered in a lecture style, so you do not need to use the IESVE during the session.
