Daikin has expanded its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) presentation series, with the addition of a new course about the Building Safety Act.
According to a statement, the Grenfell Tower tragedy brought the critical issues of safety and supply chain accountability into sharp focus, with the subsequent independent review by Dame Dame Judith Hackitt DBE resulting in tightened legislation.
Daikin said its new CPD module, ‘The Building Safety Act: What Does it Change for the Building Industry’, takes a closer look at the key developments and how they will affect the HVAC aspects of a project.
The CPD covers: the background to the changes, how to identify ‘high risk’ buildings, new roles and responsibilities, the new Golden Thread, the new Gateways systems and how to identify the right HVAC partner.
The material has been assessed by The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers and contributes towards CIBSE accredited engineers’ mandatory CPD requirements.
Matteo Dall’Ombra, Daikin’s national specification manager, said: “The legislative changes that have been brought about following the Building Safety Act are among the most significant changes to affect the Building Regulations for quite some years. By providing accessible, expert-led training on this vital topic, we’re equipping installers, engineers, consultants and facilities managers with the knowledge they need to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape and support their clients’ net zero goals.”
