The aim of this module is for the students to achieve an appropriate knowledge and understanding of the principles, descriptive and analytical elements of the subject matter and reach a level of practical competence in the application of this knowledge to acquiring optimum engineering solutions in the design of LPHW heating systems.
On completion of this Training Module and with respect to domestic dwellings trainees will: -
- Analyze Construction Details and calculate U and Y values from Part L of Building Regulations and CIBSE data.
- Calculate the thermal response factor of the building
- Carry out a heat loss calculation
- Size the boiler
- Pipe, Radiator and Pump Size
- Implications of insulating a building on the existing heating system under the Warmer Homes Scheme.

Before any renewable heating systems are integrated into a heating system, the system operation must first be optimised otherwise the potential benefits of the great technology might never be realised.
By the end of this Module the students shall be able to carry out heating system optimisation so as to reduce the energy consumption of the existing system, they shall be able to diagnose system malfunctions and communicate the causes of these malfunctions with the client in an effective, professional and businesslike manner.
On completion of this Training Module and with respect to domestic dwellings trainees will be able to:
- Understand the context and requirement for system optimisation
- Promote a ‘whole system’ approach to heating systems.
- Understand the effect of installing TRV’s (Thermostatic radiator valves) on the system pump.
- Analyze energy consumption of a variable speed ‘A’ rated pumps Vs ‘C/D’ rated fixed speed pumps.
- Properly dimension and balance / commission heating systems (using calculation aids) so as to increase energy efficiency (and hence reducing pumping requirements)
- Use calculation aids to help with the heat loss calculations of dwellings.
- Familiarization with the relevant Building Regulations
- ize domestic hot water systems. (New storage temperature for hot water systems has been revised to 50oC and implication for Legionnaires Disease
- Understand the difference between a constant temperature DHW circuit and a weather compensated radiator circuit.
- Understand condensing boiler technology and its control requirements and the advantages of underfloor heating
- Emitter size.
- Communication Skills. The promotion of effective communication with the client in a businesslike and professional manner.

(Prerequisite for learner to have successfully completed Optimisation of Heating Systems 101).
By the end of this course students will be able to size and select appropriate renewable heating technologies for a particular application.
On completion of this Training Module trainees will: -
- Understand heat pump technologies and their efficiencies, monovalent and bivalent operation modes and coefficient of performance in the Irish Environment and the requirement for low flow and return temperatures and base load application.
- Understand CHP technology and its application to dwellings
- Understand solar water heating technologies and appropriate integration into the heating system.
- Understand how the integration of various renewable technologies impacts on the energy rating of the dwelling.
- Smart metering.
- Wind Turbines (Domestic)
- Rain Water Harvesting
