SUMMARY:Webinar -  Energy Modelling and Data Analytics for Net-Zero Retrofit
DESCRIPTION:Energy Modelling and Data Analytics for Net-Zero Retrofit\nWith 80% of the 2050 building stock already standing\, global retrofit rates need to accelerate rapidly to ensure that net-zero carbon targets remain within reach. However\, given the complex nature of buildings\, how can building owners\, operators and AEC practitioners make informed decisions to ensure that strategies deliver in terms of energy\, carbon\, comfort and cost? \nJoin our experts for this consulting-led session\, exploring how cutting-edge energy modelling\, dynamic design tools\, and data analytics can streamline decision-making and reduce risk for retrofit projects. \nUsing real-world case studies\, we’ll showcase the latest digital techniques to enhance the performance of existing buildings\, guiding you through our step-by-step process – from initial optimisation to dynamic modelling of light and deep retrofit solutions\, right through to ongoing post-retrofit monitoring and verification. \nThis session will equip attendees with actionable insights and innovative approaches to deliver high-performance retrofits that stand the test of time. Plus\, our live Q&A will give you the chance to ask your most pressing retrofit questions directly to the experts. \nThis session will also mark the launch of a brand-new report from IES\, exploring the role of dynamic simulation and digital tools in supporting effective retrofit strategies. Attendees will be among the first to access this latest insight\, so sign up now to secure your place! \nSpeakers: \n\nRuth Kerrigan\, Chief Operating Officer\, IES (Chair)\nJason McGuire\, Senior Project Consultant – Energy Services\, IES\nMichael Pollock\, Senior Consultancy Manager – HVAC Modelling\, IES\nValeria Ferrando\, Associate Director – Digital Twin Consultancy\, IES\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Fire Dynamics and Modelling
DESCRIPTION:The course will follow a structured approach starting from the general fundamental principles of combustion flammability and heat transfer\, and will lead you through to the more specific study of fire spread and fire development in compartments. Open fires such as pool and jet fires will also be covered. The principles of fire protection practice and technology will be discussed within the context of understanding the fire development mechanism and the response of structures to fires. Your learning experience will be enhanced through worked examples and brief problems that you’ll be asked to attempt on your own or in groups. There will also be an opportunity for some hands-on experience with predictive PC packages.

SUMMARY:Fire Risk Assessor - Investigating The Safety of External Walls
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis\nThe scope of fire risk assessments has changed with the Fire Safety Act 2021. PAS 9980:2022  states that there are cases where a FRAEW is not required – traditionally built masonry blocks and “cases where the quantity of combustible material within the external wall construction or on facades is so small that it can be discounted.” How\, then\, does the fire risk assessor confirm that a full FRAEW is required or not? Fire and rescue services will be inundated needlessly with tens of thousands of blocks flagged up to them\, RPs and leaseholders will spend avoidable money\, and Fire Engineers will be distracted from the primary Government objective of appraising medium/high-risk buildings. \nThis course will arm fire risk assessors with the knowledge and skills to help make professional judgements about the risks presented to fire development and spread across different external walls in blocks below 18m high. \nLearning Objectives \nThis one-day course will raise your confidence in undertaking FRAs and making recommendations on external walls\, which will benefit your clients and insurers\, and specifically provide you with : \n1. Updating and refreshing your knowledge of fire safety law\, codes of practice\, and guidance\n2. An understanding of the different types of external walls and materials used in construction\n3. Insight into practical aspects of investigating wall construction\n4. Learn how to undertake a methodology for appraising risk in external walls\, based on PAS9980. \nSession 1 – Fire safety and building control – legal background \na. Brief history of standards\, codes of practice and guidance\nb. Fire Safety Act 2021 and regulations\nc. PAS 9980:2022; FSF\, FIA and Home Office guidance\nd. Changes to Building Regulations Approved Document B \nSession 2 – Construction of external walls \na. Evolution of design and specification of purpose-built blocks of flats\nb. Typology of external wall construction methods\nc. Understanding all components and materials used in external walls\nd. Traditional construction \nSession 3 – Investigative methods and techniques \na. Gathering documentation and information for desktop study\nb. Inspecting and testing walls and related building elements\nc. Use of visual survey and “Lite” investigation techniques\nd. Analysing\, recording and reporting on the information collected\ne. Case studies \nSession 4 – Methodology for appraising risk posed by external walls \na. Determining the risk rating: fire performance factors\, façade configuration and hazards/fire strategy\nb. Risk ratings posed by different external walls\nc. Assessing whether external walls pose low-medium-high risk\nd. Introduction to a risk assessment tool
