If you renovate houses, find out about the latest building materials and ways to go about retrofitting, with our FREE online talks. In just a couple of hours in the evening, you can update your knowledge and give your customers the best possible result - a warm, dry home they'll love living in! 

Whether you're a builder, an architect or have another job in construction, these sessions are designed especially for you.

This last session in our series of five courses about renovating houses looks at the importance of ventilation in buildings.

We spend 90% of our lives inside buildings and yet the indoor air quality is often poor. When you're making buildings more airtight, you need to also make sure that the indoor air remains good for people's health and wellbeing.

This session will take you through things to consider when designing or installing ventilation systems. It'll also help you get ready for the changes coming to Part F of the Building Regulations.

We'll talk about:

• Why ventilation is important for retrofits
• The requirements for ventilation in Part F of the Building Regulations
• How to calculate ventilation rates
• The best methods for installing ventilation

This course is delivered by Vince House of Aereco on behalf of Carbon Coop and hosted by Tina Holt from CAfS.
