U-Value Training

£300.00 + VAT

Our course to get you up to speed with completing U-Value calculations on the JPA Designer software.

This course is designed to introduce you to the principles of U-Value calculations by the combined method. It shows you how to carry out basic U-Value calculation by hand, then demonstrates how to carry out calculations using JPA Designer. The course also explains the conventions to be observed when carrying out U-Value calculations. The course consists of eight modules including:

•  The mechanisms by which heat is transferred
•  The assessment of thermal performance of materials used in construction
•  The combined method for calculating U-values
•  Assessing thermal bridging
•  Calculating U-values for walls and roofs
•  The thermal performance of air spaces and cavities within constructions
•  Correction factors and unheated spaces
