As part of our business ethos we do our best to keep our staff upskilled and are offered training opportunities where possible. When Will Gibbs ( Construction Skills Project lead) at Abingdon and Witney College offered to put together a bespoke Renewable workshop for us at Lambert Home Builds we jumped at the chance.
What better place to introduce our team to the ever evolving world of renewables than at the Next Zero Skills Hub in Abingdon, its a phenomenal training centre with more heat pumps then you can shake a stick at!
Our trainer was the incredibly knowledgeable David Matthews with a renewables and engineering background and took us through a full day including heat loss calculations, the inner workings of heat pumps ( I havent forgotten about Flow temperature!), MVHR, solar PV and rain water harvesting.
It was a fantastic day, so worthwhile and we just cant ignore the changing landscape of renewables within the construction industry and having this resource on our doorstep was invaluable to upskilling the team .
With huge thanks to all the team at Abingdon and Witney College for giving us their time, I can highly recommend this course to any contractors out there, do reach out to them Im sure they would love to hear from you. Next stop domestic ventilation….
