HOUSING CERTIFICATE TRAINING

PILOT PROGRAMME 200 Labels in BARILOCHE, MENDOZA and TUCUMAN

Training Course for Certifiers in Energy Efficiency in Housing

The purpose of the training course on energy certification of domestic housing is to train professionals related to the construction sector to perform energy evaluations of domestic housing. Knowing the energy performance of a home in terms of requirements to meet the needs of air conditioning, production of hot water and lighting is essential when buying or renting a property. The training course includes information on the functioning of the national energy system, and concepts of physics which are addressed and applied to the study of energy flows in a house. The professionals carrying out the training course will upload the data of the house survey through a computer system, obtaining an energy label of the house. This label does not only provide a diagnosis of the current state, but proposes interventions to improve the efficiency of the building/house. Architects, engineers and master builders follow this 48 hours training course, divided into 8 days.
