Managing indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important factor in building design, and Waterloo Air Products now offers ‘An Introduction to Air Distribution’.

The new course covers the principles of air distribution when using mixed flow, displacement and VAV (Variable Air Volume) systems.

The day course is designed for building service engineers, architects and building professionals, and delivers knowledge of which system to choose and how to calculate the air volume flow rate, based on heat load and temperature differential.

The first training was run on 19 July from Waterloo’s headquarters in Aylesford, Kent. It kicked off with a classroom session, followed by lunch, and then it was straight into the test lab. Roy Nutley, technical advisor at Waterloo, commented: “It’s good to show people how it works in the test lab because it’s the hands-on experience that cements the theory.”

“After the lab, the group took a tour of the factory to see different types of air terminal devices being made, as well as visiting the paint shop. A final classroom session to answer questions completed the training.”

The training delivers practical information to ensure the best indoor air quality. Waterloo offers open sessions for delegates from different companies, or a single company can book all eight places. In future, CIBSE members get the added advantage of using the course as part of their CPD accreditation.
