Calor, the UK’s leading supplier of LPG, has
become a network provider of Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) for the Royal Institute of British
Architects (RIBA). The comprehensive seminar enables
RIBA members to increase their knowledge and understanding
of LPG and earn CPD points. The seminar can be accessed
via Calor’s website (www.calor.co.uk) or alternatively,
a Calor representative can present the seminar at a
professional’s office.
As well as being obligatory, CPD is a valuable business
tool for architects and construction professionals.
If planned well and implemented alongside appraisals,
CPD can help to enhance productivity, earning power,
morale, competence, job satisfaction, career prospects,
client relations, recruitment and safety. Online learning
is a simple and convenient way for RIBA members to update
their skills and knowledge – at their own pace
and in their own time.
Calor’s LPG online CPD seminar can be accessed
via the developers, architects and heating specifiers
section of Calor’s website, which also contains
other relevant and useful information, including a technical
factfile, domestic and commercial case studies, industry
news and information on Calor promotions.
Calor’s 41 page seminar is designed to provide
RIBA members with comprehensive and essential knowledge
and information about LPG. The seminar is especially
useful for professionals involved with rural housing
developments, which in most instances will require a
non-mains-gas fuel.
As well as explaining key facts about Calor and the
LPG market, the seminar covers where and why LPG is
used and illustrates the benefits of the non-mains-gas
fuel over other alternative fuels, such as oil –
in relation to environmental pollution in particular.
The seminar also provides technical details and essential
advice relating to the facts about LPG, regulations,
types of gas storage options available and siting details.
Information on tank storage options – including
central storage and individual underground tank installations
– tank access, cylinders and telemetry is included.
There are also details of the wide range of LPG appliances
available, including boilers, and some examples of domestic
and commercial installations.
Andrea Price, market manager at Calor, said: “Calor
is committed to communicating LPG’s benefits and
stimulating growth and demand in the non-mains-gas market.
A key part of this process is education. Our new RIBA
CPD seminar, designed specifically for architects, specifiers
and developers, provides RIBA members with essential
information on LPG and other non-mains-gas fuels, enabling
them to make fully informed decisions when choosing
fuel for rural developments.
“Rural developers are becoming more clued up
about LPG. They are finding that installing the fuel
makes properties easier to sell because home buyers
prefer gas – especially if they are moving from
an urban area where they have been used to the benefits
of mains gas.
“LPG is the closest alternative to mains gas;
it is the only non-mains-gas fuel which provides a real
and controllable flame for cookers and fires. Even the
sight of the LPG storage tank can be eliminated by opting
for an unobtrusive underground tank. All that is visible
with this type of installation is a compact round green
cover, which gives access to the valve assembly.
“Another important benefit Calor offers is a
constant supply of fuel. The Think Tank® storage
system, available on above or below ground tank options,
ensures that homeowners are automatically topped-up
with Calor LPG when required, without any action on
their part. With The Think Tank® installed there
really is no difference between LPG and mains gas.
“With Calor LPG, architects, developers and specifiers
can rest assured that the tank installation and insurance
is our responsibility, and we complete a full site survey
beforehand. We will assist with the application of any
planning permission that may be required, and provide
detailed information and guidance on the excavation
process. We are also used to working with builders with
demanding schedules and are rated highly for our on-time
delivery. After installation, the tank remains the property
and responsibility of Calor and is checked and maintained
by our qualified engineers every time gas is delivered.”
