This live Overheating course is required before undertaking the Elmhurst Overheating Competency assessment

Pre-requisite IES On-Demand Dynamic Simulation Training

You must be competent in using the following IES Virtual Environment tools: ModelIT, SunCast, ApacheSim and MacroFlo. This competency could either be via previous IES training (face-to-face, live online or on-demand), or relevant experience using the IES Virtual Environment modelling and thermal simulation tools. 

If you do not have this experience you will need to complete the pre-requisite On-Demand IES Dynamic Simulation training.

Pre-requisite IES On-Demand Dynamic Simulation Training

You will receive 1 year’s access to IES’s On-Demand Learning material which must be completed before attending the one-day online Overheating course. On the day of the Overheating course you must have completed the IES On-Demand training. Once you have received access to this training material we are unable to refund the On-Demand training fee of £350.  

Pre-requisite IES On-Demand Learning content:

  • ModelIT: Building geometry creation and editing tool
  • SunCast: Solar shading analysis
  • ApacheSim: Dynamic thermal simulation tool
  • MacroFlo: Natural ventilation tool
