Energy Efficiency for Gas and Oil

Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency for Gas Fired and Oil Fired Domestic Heating and Hot Water Systems

• Course overview

  This unit is designed to enable learners to understand, and be competent when carrying out the design of heating systems in accordance with Part L of the Building Regulations. This is a CPD unit designed for operatives working within the Building Engineering Services industry and is a pre-requisite to some other qualifications in the renewables sector. This qualification replaced the non regulated LCL Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating (withdrawn 31/12/14) and is based on the current Approved Document Part L and Domestic Heating Compliance Guide

• Entry Requirements

  LOGIC Certification - Level 3 Award In the Installation and Maintenance of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems.It is a requirement that any learner wishing to undertake this qualifcation should hold a Level 3 Electrotechnical NVQ qualification or similar.
