SELECT Announces New Embedded Electric Heating Seminar

SELECT has announced a new special technical seminar on embedded electric heating, developed in partnership with Associate Member, Flexel.

Held at three locations across Scotland in May and June, the half-day session will cover the safe design, installation and verification of indoor and outdoor systems.

Stuart McKelvie, Training Development Adviser, will begin each session by explaining how Section 753 of BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 aligns with UK manufacturer Flexel.

After a short break for refreshments, Craig Herriott, Scotland Regional Manager with Flexel, will then discuss the link between its embedded heating systems and Section 753.

His presentation will also include a detailed overview of all of Flexel products including electric cables, far infrared patented ink-based solutions and heaters. Craig will discuss where each solution should be used to maximise efficiency and how various thermostat controls can assist with further energy savings.

The seminar will run from 8.45am until 1pm on the following dates:

• Tuesday 7 May 2024 – Edinburgh

• Tuesday 28 May 2024 – Cambuslang

• Wednesday 5 June 2024 – Glenrothes

Jenny Cryans, Training Manager, said: "The future is electric, so it’s important that designers and installers understand the requirements in BS 7671 for embedded electric heating systems, surface heating, de-icing, frost protection and similar applications."

The cost to attend is £75 + VAT per delegate, with a CPD certificate provided.
