CPD: RdSAP Space Heating (5 Hr CPD)
Course Details
Gain a comprehensive understanding of space heating systems with our CPD: RdSAP Space Heating (5 Hr CPD) course, designed specifically for Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) who want to improve the quality, consistency and accuracy of their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments.
Space heating has one of the greatest influences on a property's energy efficiency rating. Correctly identifying the primary heating system, associated controls and heat emitters is essential when producing accurate EPCs and ensuring compliance with the latest RdSAP methodology and industry conventions.
Throughout this in-depth CPD course, you'll explore the wide range of heating systems found within domestic properties, including gas, oil and LPG boilers, electric heating, storage heaters, heat pumps, biomass systems and solid fuel appliances. You'll also examine heating distribution systems, emitters, thermostatic controls, programmers, time and temperature controls, zoning, weather compensation and smart heating controls.
Using practical examples and real property scenarios, you'll learn how to identify heating appliances during site inspections, gather appropriate evidence, understand common installation variations and correctly record heating data within RdSAP. The course also highlights common assessment errors and explains how accurate heating system identification can significantly improve the reliability and consistency of EPC assessments.
This is a fully online CPD course, meaning there is no classroom attendance, live webinar or face-to-face training required. The entire course is completed through the Ozone Group SAMS learner portal, allowing you to study at your own pace whenever it suits your schedule.
Once you've completed the learning module, you'll take a short online knowledge quiz within the SAMS portal. If you don't achieve the required pass mark on your first attempt, you can revisit the learning materials and retake the quiz as many times as necessary until you pass. Upon successful completion, your CPD Certificate will be generated automatically and emailed directly to you, providing immediate evidence of your Continuing Professional Development.
