BREEAM and F-gas are Daikin topics

The Waldorf Astoria is the Edinburgh venue for Daikin’s Forward Thinking seminar

UK: Daikin UK’s latest round of Future Thinking seminars will cover new BREEAM construction standards and the F-gas regulations.

Providing up-to-date guidance, the series will be held at multiple venues across the UK during September and October.

Presenting updates on the latest techniques driving the future built environment, attendees will be able to hear about the new direction of BREEAM and contribute to its accompanying draft UK New Construction 2018 consultation.

The seminars will be led by BREEAM New Construction scheme experts, Charlotte Hardy, Wendy Thorpe and David Leonard, alongside Daikin UK legislation specialist Graham Wright.

Attendees can also hear about why Daikin sees R32 as the low GWP refrigerant of choice.

“The construction sector will see many important changes taking effect throughout 2018. Ranging from BREEAM standards and F-gas regulations – which demand a further 44% reduction in HFC quotas next year – these will have a major impact on our industry,” said Daikin UK MD Martin Krutz.

“By inviting consultants and specifiers to attend these excellent seminars led by industry specialists, attendees can gain a great insight into the continually evolving UK construction standards changes, helping them to lead the away in applying them across a prosperous, environmentally friendly and energy efficient HVAC sector.”

All are evening sessions, starting at 18.00, are CPD-accredited and include a buffet and drinks.  

Dates and venues are: Glasgow (Sept 26), Edinburgh (Sept 27), Manchester (Sept 28), Leeds (Oct 3), London (Oct 4), Newcastle (Oct 10), Birmingham (Oct 11), Nottingham (Oct 12), Bristol (Oct 17), Southampton (Oct 18), Cardiff (Oct 19).
