Underfloor Heating
BPEC Certificated
A short course developed by BPEC in association with the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers Association for those who want to know about the various underfloor heating systems available and become involved in advising, designing and installing them in domestic and commercial environments.
Description
Underfloor heating is increasingly popular and each year the number of systems installed rises to new records. This is because warm water and electric systems are available for all types of floors and it has become recognised as an intelligent, green choice for heating buildings in the 21st Century. Integrating the heating system into the fabric of the building puts every square centimetre of floor space to practical use. Heating from the floor upwards also harnesses the basic principles of physics to create a better standard of comfort, while using less energy.
