HERO Software training

NatHERS accredited software

This software modelling course will take you on a step-by-step journey of modelling a complex residential dwelling from start to finish using the NatHERS accredited HERO software.

You will learn from our NatHERS endorsed trainers how to apply software tool functions and modelling methods suitable for complex building types, construction methods and materials as well as running simulations to determine if the potential thermal performance of the complex dwelling complies with regulatory requirements.

By completing this course with EIB you will achieve the nationally recognised qualifications.

  • CPPHES4004 – Conduct thermal performance assessments of residential buildings.
  • CPPHES5001 – Conduct thermal performance assessments of complex residential buildings.

Completion of these two units also allows existing assessors to use HERO as an accredited tool which is not provided by other HERO software providers.

The Hero Complex modelling training goes deeper into the latest version of Hero. It covers, but is not limited to split zones, elements & modelling on a complex residential dwelling.

At the successful completion of this course the Hero team will give you a bonus of $330 Hero Certificate Credits

The HERO Complex modelling training goes deeper into the latest version of HERO. It covers, but is not limited to split zones, elements & modelling on a complex residential dwelling.

The main objective of this course is to assist assessors understand HERO and energy rating in greater detail than were taught in the HERO introductory  course.

The outcome is a greater retention of knowledge and skills that can easily be transferred back in the work place.

Key principles

Key modelling includes:

  • Thermal performance of a variety of building materials
  • Complex thermal performance ratings
  • Requirements for modelling complex buildings and non-standard materials
  • Involved complex levels, built shading devises and void arrangements
  • Applying software tool functions and modelling methods suitable for complex building types, construction methods and materials
  • Run simulation to determine if the potential thermal performance of the building complies with regulatory requirements.

The course

This course can be completed entirely on-line at your own pace and at any time using all the material provided without the need for face-to-face live instruction.

The training is delivered by way of on-line pre-recorded tutorials that you can view as many times as you wish using the EIB Learning Management System and authored by our highly skilled and NatHERS endorsed trainers. There are no set times when you have to join classroom courses which takes time out of your working day or may not suit your timetable.

At varying intervals of the EIB pre- recorded tutorials, you will submit your work progressively for our trainers to provide you with feedback ensuring that you are on the right track.

Our student support program is available throughout the entire course. The support program allows you to ask questions of any one of our NatHERS endorsed trainers should you require assistance.

The benefits of E-learning

Both online and face-to-face learning methods have their own set of unique advantages and disadvantages.

While few learners may still prefer the discipline and familiarity that face-to-face learning brings, there is no denying the immense benefits of online learning. The self-paced nature of eLearning content is highly favorable to the modern learner – as well as organizations searching for new ways of managing employee development and training in a post-COVID world.

This type of learning is more flexible than traditional learning and is more practical for learners. With instructor lead learning there is little scope for the learner to slow down and re-learn difficult concepts in a live, instructor-led scenario – as this hinders the entire group. Miss one class and it is gone forever.

With the advancement of technology and the EIB adaptive learning platform, elearning modules are supported via digital textbooks, live chat support, community forums, online discussion boards, videos that can be viewed many times over and audio materials, interactive quizzes, virtual announcements, and much more.
