Renewables design courses

Logic Certification, training, renewable energy

Following the success of its solar PV designer course, Logic Certification has developed two more courses for those involved in designing, managing or surveying renewable-heating systems for others to install. Technologies covered include air- and ground-source heat pumps and solar-thermal hot water.

The courses are designed for candidates with basic knowledge of heating and plumbing and who want a fully understanding of these subjects but do not meet the criteria to undertake installation training.

Completion of these courses will give the capability to specify, survey and design domestic or small commercial solar-thermal and heat-pump systems — enlisting the support of manufacturers where required.
