As part of the European project, BIMzeED, a number of free training courses about nZEB and BIM have been created.

Our Engineer, Colm will deliver 3 of these courses beginning on August 31st.

Course 1 – Collaborative BIM To Achieve NZEB

Objectives

  • Create a collaborative workflow between all construction team members using BIM.
  • Identify the role and responsibilities of each construction team members.
  • Identify the building regulations applicable and generate all documents to achieve nZEB design.

When

The course will be delivered over 2 weeks beginning on Tuesday, August 31st.

  • Tuesday, August 31st: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Thursday, September 2nd: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Tuesday, September 7th: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Thursday, September 9th: 10.00am – 12.30pm

Please note: It is compulsory to attend all 4 workshops

Course 2 – NZEB Realization & Commissioning: Building Envelope & Air Tightness

This course is aimed at the creation of BIM objects suitable for NZEB design and their correct use within the BIM model. Therefore, principles and parameters affecting building envelope and air tightness, quality controls to guarantee NZEB values as well as best practices will be studied. All this with an active and innovative methodology, thanks to the digital tools that provide greater ease in the application of solutions in the design.

Objectives

  • Use tools for BIM object creation (foundations, walls, roofs…)
  • Understand the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building
  • design.
  • Guarantee a correct nZEB design through the application of a quality control of the
  • construction model.
  • Base nZEB building design on suitable BIM objects.

When

The course will be delivered over 2 weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 14th..

  • Tuesday, September 14th: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Thursday, September 16th: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Tuesday, September 21st: 10.00am – 12.30pm

Please note: It is compulsory to attend all 3 workshops

Course 3 – NZEB Realization & Commissioning Building Services & Smart Technologies

Objectives

  • Use tools for BIM object creation (energy systems, mechanical ventilation…).
  • Identify the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building design.
  • Guarantee a correct nZEB design through the application of a quality control of the construction model.
  • Base nZEB building design on suitable BIM objects.
  • Perform analyse energy demand calculations for building services design.
  • Compare and contrast different technologies to facilitate selection of an appropriate solution or solutions

When

The course will be delivered over 2 weeks beginning on Thursday, September 23rd.

  • Thursday, 23rd September: 10.00am – 12.30pm
  • Tuesday, 28th September: 10.00 am – 12.30pm
  • Thursday, 30th September: 10.00am – 12.30pm

Please note: It is compulsory to attend all 3 workshops
