On-line CPD for Part L

via BSEE:

Professional Specifiers can now take on-line CPD-accredited courses on Part L from the comfort of their own workstations – thanks to innovative heating specialist Creda – one of the first UK HVAC companies to de-mystify Part L in this way.

“Our aim is to provide surveyors, M&E consultants and Specifiers with facts and practical skills to enable them to de-bunk the barrage of regulations surrounding Part L – and gain CPD accreditation at the same time,” said Business Manager Richard Scott for Applied Energy the Creda parent company.

“Successful completion of our on-line Part L course provides one hour of accredited CPD time – without the inconvenience of having to take time out to physically attend courses. The benefits are enormous.”

The web-based course is fully interactive and includes comprehensive and detailed course notes on Part L. Specifiers simply log on to www.applied-energy.com to access the course – successful completion of which results in a printed certificate giving them their one hour of accredited CPD time.

This latest innovation follows the launch of the Decent Homes Standards Module for professional planners, also available on-line with full CPD accreditation.

As I haven’t managed to find a way of getting electric heating to pass Part L1A or L2A without using substantial renewable microgeneration, I’m interested see what Creda’s take on the regulations is.

The previous version of Part L had some major concessions which enabled electric heating to pass, especially in dwellings. My article on the topic can be found in Nov 2002 BSJ here (registration required).

**UPDATE** The pdf files available on the site still pertain to Part L 2002 - the Part L 2006 stuff has yet to be updated although there is some information there (it still reads as future tense, despite the regs coming in in April 2006).
