Enrolments can be made at anytime of the year. You can start immediately.

This training is delivered by way of On-Line pre-recorded tutorials using the EIB Learning Management System and authored by our highly skilled and qualified trainer.

During the tutorials, students submit their work progressively for our trainers to assess ensuring that they are on the right track.

During this training you submit assignments that one of our certified trainers will assess and provide you with feedback on your own work.

We have found that we are having more success with the tutorials than face to face training as with the tutorials you can go over them as many times as you want and the personalised feedback from our trainers achieve great results.

With our FirstRate5 course you get to talk to our trainers whilst doing the course. You will get immediate feedback on how you are going which gives you the peace of mind that you are on the right track when going forward with the course. You don’t have to wait till the end of the course to find out if you have passed or not.

Key modelling includes:
• local climate and weather (including temperature, humidity, wind and sun)
• thermal resistance and capacitance of building materials
• window glazing values
• occupancy patterns (including internal heat loads, typical occupancy times and occupancy behaviour)
• window coverings (which are standardised for all ratings, noting they are likely to change of the life of the building)
• different types of zones in the house and whether they are conditioned/unconditioned
• thermostat settings (temperatures at which artificial heating/cooling is no longer required to achieve thermal comfort, noting this varies depending on climate zone)
• shadowing/overshadowing by adjacent buildings and features
• size of the building being assessed (noting smaller buildings generally have a larger wall surface area than bigger buildings)
