Plumbers and heating engineers in East Anglia are being invited to attend a free seminar at Lowestoft College on 28 October 2009.

The event, which has ‘Sustainability’ as its theme, is organised by the Norfolk Branch of the national educational charity, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering and will run from 5.30 to 8.30 in the evening.

Speakers at the seminar come from leading industry manufacturers and from Anglian Water. Baxi Heating will cover Micro Combined Heat and Power, the technology which allows the waste heat from domestic or commercial central heating boilers to generate electricity. Domestic heating controls specialist, Honeywell UK, will continue on the topic of domestic heating, telling delegates of the latest available controls that will enable builders and specifiers to meet the demands of new Building Regulations while the increasingly important subject of water conservation will be covered by a representative from local water supplier, Anglian Water.

A buffet will be provided for delegates who must pre-register by emailing [email protected] or phone 01263 722492.

The Chairman of the Institute’s Norfolk Branch is Roger Willis. “We ran a similar event last year at the College of West Anglia in Kings Lynn,” he said. “That was a great success with some 50 delegates attending, including plumbers, heating engineers, students and others from the industry. With the technology and legislation of plumbing, heating and water supply changing so rapidly to help combat climate change, it is essential to keep up to date. This seminar is designed to provide that opportunity.”

The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering, founded in 1906, is an educational charity and the professional body for plumbers and heating engineers in the UK. It has around 11,500 members of whom over 300 are based in Norfolk and Suffolk. More information is at www.ciphe.org.uk
