Daikin UK is again inviting building services engineers and engineering consultants to attend the latest series of its CPD-accredited Future Thinking seminars in June and July this year.

The popular series of two-hour talks will explore topics of Low Carbon Building, BREEAM and F-Gas Regulations, focusing on the implications of the latest assessment schemes and legislative changes that have come into effect over the last six months and including CPD accredited sessions at every event .

The new F-Gas regulations (EU 517/2014) introduced in January 2015 are designed to phase down the use of fluorinated gases (HFCs). The seminar will highlight the main challenges that these legislative changes present to engineers and the alternative refrigerant solutions available in 2015 and beyond.

The Future Thinking events are being held at top locations across the UK and the latest series features influential keynote speakers including: Ray Gluckman, former President of the IOR; Gavin Summerson, Senior Consultant at BRE Global Limited; and Graham Wright, President of HEVAC.

Daikin UK is encouraging early registration at the events to avoid disappointment. All sessions are scheduled to take place between 6.30pm and 9.30pm on the following days:
