Daikin UK is inviting building services engineers and engineering consultants to attend the next series of its forward-thinking, CPD-accredited Future Thinking seminars in February and March this year.

Developed by Daikin UK experts and supported by BRE Group keynote speakers, the new seminars will explore BREEAM in depth.

Engineers will learn about the hallmarks and application of the new BREEAM scheme for Non-Domestic Refurbishment and Fit out, launched in October 2014. The seminars provide a valuable opportunity for engineers to advance their knowledge of sustainable building design, and gain the latest insights into energy-efficient HVACR solutions and BREEAM credits for heating and cooling systems.

The sessions will be hosted by Daikin’s specification team, which includes five BREEAM accredited professionals, together with expert guest speakers from BRE Group. So the seminars will give attendees a forum to discuss BREEAM with professionals from across the heating and cooling community.

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:

1. Birmingham, Hotel Du Vin, 12 February
2. Southampton, Grand Harbour Hotel, 19 February
3. London, Malmaison, Charterhouse Square, 25 February
