Overheating Course Information
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. This is in preparation for new Building Regulations due to come into force in 2022 which will see calculation of overheating risk be 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
Pre-requisite On-Demand DSM Training
You must be competent in using the following IES Virtual Environment tools: ModelIT, SunCast, ApacheSim and MacroFlo. This competency could either be via previous IES training (face-to-face, live online or On-Demand), or relevant experience in using the IES Virtual Environment modelling and thermal simulation tools.
