Making a case for air conditioning

CIBSE and the Institute of Refrigeration are organising a conference that will offer expert advice, using case studies and real examples, on how to achieve engineering excellence in cooling systems. Among the issues to be discussed are how to make a real estimation of the need, how to restrict air conditioning to occasions when it is really necessary, how to use weather data to size systems appropriately, and how to make the right decision for your clients and give them a robust explanation of the design decisions from an energy use, comfort and air quality point of view. The event is in London on 20 October 2008, and there is a 10% discount to readers of ‘Modern Building Services’. Just put Ref MBS on the booking form, which can be accessed using the link below. The conference is £195 plus VAT for members of CIBSE and IoR and £295 fo rnon-members.
