BSj’s first online seminar, titled How to Design for Schools, is to take place on Tuesday, 30 September, at 12.30pm.

The webinar will focus on the key aspects of building services design for zero-carbon schools, particularly the issue of classroom ventilation. A panel of experts will be on hand for the presentations and an interactive debate on questions including:

• Is natural ventilation the most appropriate solution?

• Is it easier to meet the requirements of Building Bulletin 101 using mechanical ventilation?

• What are the issues relating to acoustics?

• How can the occupants be persuaded to use buildings in a sustainable way?

Leading manufacturers representing heating, ventilation and piping will share best practice advice from their most successful applications.
