Daikin UK has released
dates for its upcoming Future Thinking seminars, aimed at building services
consultants.
Now in its ninth
season, speakers in this latest series will explore the theme ‘Optimising Design and Performance’, at ten
locations across the UK.
The Future Thinking
programme is designed to tackle the increasing
challenges of designing a suitable built environment; and aims to inform and
provoke discussion around achieving a sustainable and comfortable indoor
climate.
This latest series considers how to achieve
high performance buildings throughout the project lifecycle, starting with
designing for flexibility and increasing efficiencies through BIM and software
tools. Speakers will examine the role that commissioning and BMS controls play
in reducing the performance gap; and look at optimising heat recovery and the
importance of future-proofed technologies.
The seminars will also
focus on working within the WELL Building Standard, the first evidence-based
system for measuring, certifying and monitoring building features that impact
on health and wellbeing.
Karen Perry, National Specification Manager at
Daikin UK, commented: “With post occupancy evaluations commonly highlighting
discrepancies between the designed and actual performance of a building, our
latest seminar aims to explore how to maximise efficiencies during the design
phase and offers advice on optimising performance in-use.
“Our Future Thinking programme is now in its fourth
year and has proved to be a great success. As well as gaining CPD points,
attendees also enjoy the opportunity to network with Future Thinking
professionals from across the building services community.”
