Contents and methodology

Our courses are designed to give a competitive advantage: attendees gain the skills, knowledge, and insights to better understand the principles of heat loss calculations and the organisation of an EN 16247/ISO 50002 aligned and standardised thermal energy audit.

The training offers an inspiring and fruitful interaction with some of the best experts and technical insulation professionals: all courses are practical, and ‘hands-on’, taught by industry experts, in a collaborative and open environment enabling industry peers to exchange ideas and knowledge.

The trainings are normally organised at the Research Institute for Thermal Insulation in Munich (Forschungsinstitut für Wärmeschutz e.V. München) but the courses can be offered at other locations as well, with the support of EiiF Members.
