Daikin seminars on building performance

Daikin-seminar-logoUK: Bridging the gap between the predicted and actual energy performance of buildings is the subject of a new series of Daikin seminars.

The latest in Daikin UK’s Future Thinking series of seminars take place across the country from next month.

With the energy performance of buildings up to five times higher than predicted during design, Daikin UK says the seminars will identify why and how the performance gap occurs. It will explain how to add client value, by influencing energy performance beyond design; stay ahead of the competition by using dynamic energy performance modelling; and how to design whole-building climate control systems that deliver on their promises.

Daikin promises speakers from the Carbon Trust and dynamic modelling specialist IES – industry-leaders offering expertise and tools to help close the building performance gap.

Future Thinking seminars are from 6pm and include buffet, drinks and networking.
