Tas Academy at EDSL

Overview of the Technology Awareness Day

Learn about the very latest procedures and capabilities offered by the UK’s most comprehensive building and plant simulation tool.

Tas is accredited for UK Part L and EPC and ASHRAE 90.1 (LEED) calculations. Tas does not use any SBEM type calculation procedures and so delivers design and compliance in one tool.

The Tas Academy is free to attend and includes a hot lunch. Attendance of the Tas Academy can also count towards your Continued Personal Development (CPD). The Tas Academy is held at our office in Milton Keynes - for directions, travelling information and nearby parking, please see our Contact page.

The day will give you a clearer understanding of the fundamentals of building simulation and how it serves as an essential tool in meeting the demanding challenges of sustainable building design.
