With over 70 years of experience in the HVAC industry, our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) presentations will help you collect accredited hours while giving useful, relevant, and up-to-date information on how to improve how you specify the systems within your buildings.
Our CPDs are designed to help building professionals understand different HVAC technologies, from project application to potential routes to compliance. All our presenters are trained by GDHV, and have extensive experience within the HVAC industry to better understand your requirements.
Our CPDs presentations and courses can be delivered at your offices or online, via Microsoft Teams.
CPD Topics

How do we maximise the potential of heat pump technology to help us achieve net-carbon objectives?
The roadmap to achieve the UK’s 2050 net-zero carbon target is still relatively unclear. This creates uncertainty about the implementation of low carbon solutions in the industry. The lack of direction in turn affects the ability to plan for future developments. Difficult specification choices, doubts over futureproofing strategies, and lack of preparedness for regulatory changes, are just some of the factors affecting heat pump specification in new developments and existing buildings in both residential and commercial sectors.
Which technologies are the most viable to deliver the decarbonisation of heating?
To deliver the decarbonisation of heating, we should deploy a wide range of technologies that can help to eliminate the use of high carbon fossil fuels. Electric solutions, especially those that utilise renewable energy, offer a viable route to ensuring our homes are heated in a low carbon way. To successfully transfer to electrical infrastructures and make the necessary adjustments that bring us closer to achieving the UK’s 2050 net zero target, the industry will need a clear plan with achievable interim targets.
How can technological innovation in heat pumps help address the challenges of climate change?
Innovations in heat pump technology are set to give us the tools for the decarbonisation of heat within commercial and residential developments. With over 30% of UK carbon emissions attributed to the heating of our buildings, tackling the carbon emissions connected with heat will represent a large contribution to our ongoing battle with climate change.
