Overheating in Homes – Ventilation & Cooling Strategy
CPD from
Zehnder Group UK Ltd
Urbanisation, Density Planning Restrictions, and the development of more challenging sites have seen the rise of overheating issues in buildings rise significantly over the past few years.
Where new homes are required to meet high quality and insulation levels, the need for effective ventilation and cooling strategies are now crucial to comfort and well-being and to meet planning guidelines and regulations. This CPD will explore the reasons for overheating, thermal modeling examples and the benefits of using ventilation and cooling to combat overheating in homes.Learning Objectives
- What is overheating, why is it occurring and what are the implications?
- Regulations and Guidance surrounding overheating in homes e.g., TM59
- Importance of thermal modeling with examples utilizing ventilation
- Ventilation solutions to combat overheating

With Building Regulations calling for increasingly airtight homes, and fuel prices rising, effective and efficient heat recovery ventilation is vital.
The Zehnder CPD explains everything you need to know about heat recovery in order to successfully specify it into High Code Level homes and Passive House projects.
The course has been independently assessed and accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and aims to enable recipients to champion healthier, more energy-efficient and more comfortable buildings for the benefit of the homeowner, the community and the environment.Learning objectives
- Understand the key principles of heat recovery ventilation and how it works
- Learn about what constitutes a High Code Level and Passive House dwelling
- Understand how to identify the correct heat recovery system for the project
- Recognise the necessary features to achieve compliance with High Code Leve

The issue of cooling is gaining greater prominence in today’s society, as buildings experience heating issues such as humidity, overheating and solar shading which impact on the well-being of occupants. The Zehnder Radiant Conditioning CPD looks at the different cooling solutions that are available, their capabilities, limitations and the benefits that can be gained from utilising radiant conditioning solutions.
Good practice that can be adopted for system design is also discussed, as well as application of conditioning solutions in varied environments.Learning objectives
- Understanding of cooling issues that pertain within buildings today
- Detailing of cooling solutions that are available
- Different cooling solutions and how they work
- The benefits that can be gained by radiant conditioning
- Understanding of system design options
- Examples of cooling solutions

The ability to economically heat buildings, whilst also considering the environmental impact, is becoming more and more important. This is especially so in large spaces such as offices, warehouses, sports centres, retail outlets, schools, and hospitals where energy usage is high. We spend virtually three-quarters of our lives in buildings: the indoor climate, temperature, and air quality has a considerable influence on our general well-being. A range of options are available when choosing heating systems, however, one that is often overlooked and perhaps not so readily understood is radiant heating. The radiant heating CPD from Zehnder examines the technology further and examines the benefits the system can offer.Learning objectives
- An understanding of radiant heat and how it works
- How resultant/perceived temperature affects us
- The features and benefits of radiant heating
- Comparisons between radiant and convective systems

Adhering to good design principles ensures that delivered solutions satisfy numerous factors, such as compliance, sustainability targets and user acceptance. This CPD looks at what contributes to good heating and lighting, and the benefits integrated solutions can deliver to the built environment. Pertinent industry guidance and regulations are discussed, in addition to the alternate forms of heating and cooling mediums that are available and the advantages that integrated services can deliver for stakeholders on a project.Learning Objectives
- Ensuring good design – what you need to consider
- What is radiant heating?
- Lighting factors to consider
- Multi-service foil and its application
- Cost-benefit analysis
- Comparing multi-service foil to alternative methods of heating
- Housing Authorities, Local Authorities, Engineers (all levels), Energy Managers, Specifie

Ventilation solutions have developed considerably over the decades. However, as properties have become more airtight, this has led to the onset of issues such as overheating and onset of mould and condensation – issues can easily be prevented through effective ventilation measures.
This CPD outlines ventilation methodologies that can be adopted to prevent such issues, highlighting why they should be adhered to, and solutions that can be adopted. Sound design, installation and commissioning practices are discussed, along with practical maintenance and control guidance, to ensure continuous delivery of good indoor air quality.Learning Objectives
- The evolution of ventilation
- Awareness of problems caused by poor ventilation
- Ventilation methodologies, system types and their advantages and disadvantages
- Design, installation and commissioning considerations
- Importance of maintenance and system controls
