Online Learning
The CIBSE Online learning system is a series of training modules aimed at bringing practical engineering based skills to you. The training covers a range of essential skills and practical topics presented in an interactive, flexible format making it easy to learn and refresh skills.
There are 2 elements the online learning programme. The Flexible Learning portfolio and CPD updates.
The Flexible Learning programme is a series of modules, each module providing a thorough understanding of a subject with 7 hours of structured learning and a bank of material available for further reading. The supporting interactive elements will help to guide you through the subject matter and ensure you finish the module with an excellent grasp of the topic. End of module quizzes will help you evaluate your learning.
For those interested in a formal qualification, completion of relevant topics and formal assessment by London South Bank University could count towards obtaining the Edexcel Advanced Professional Diploma in Building Services design. For details on the diploma please contact Pasha Fuad, Director, Centre for CPE at the University on fuadp@lsbu.ac.uk, telephone: 07860 671129.
Online CPD updates, designed for CIBSE members is an easy and convenient way for you to keep up to date with new developments in Building Services and satisfy your CIBSE and ECUK CPD commitments. There will be 4 topics available from autumn 09. Heating design, Cooling and ventilation system, facilities management and Lighting. Each 7 hour module will cover: Legislation update, any new standards, technology update and an international overview.
CIBSE Online Learning will provide a cost effective, flexible way of getting up to speed on a range of topics that you can fit in around your job at a time that suits you.

CPD Module: Heating Systems Update
The aim of this module is to provide an overview on heating design, summarise latest developments in technology related to heating systems, discuss energy and environmental issues, provide an update on relevant legislation and consider recent health and safety issues.
CPD Module: Lighting: The environment, legislation and norms
The aim of this module is to provide a comprehensive update on lighting to meet your structured learning CPD requirements. The unit has special focus on the impact artificial lighting is having on the environment, and ways to address this. The module content offers a pertinent analysis of the industries present situation, and is an accessible way of gaining increased knowledge of current legislation, a deeper understanding into the issues that affect the industry, and the ways in which improvements can be made.
This module is of value both to lighting specialists and to those who must consider lighting as part of their role. It is a convenient way of keeping up to date with the latest trends and advancements, and furthering understanding of the environmental impact lighting has on our resources.
CPD Module: Facilities managment
This module is designed to provide an overview on Facilities Management particularly in relation to the engineering services within buildings, summarise latest developments related to facilities management, discuss energy and environmental issues, provide an update on relevant legislation and consider recent health and safety issues.
OL02 - Introduction to M&E Services
The aim of this module is to introduce the role of the modern building services engineer; why we need building services - what are they, what they look like and what they do. It covers areas of mechanical services such as heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and their control. On the electrical size, it covers, for example, three-phase supplies and its distribution, electric shock prevention, earthing and uninterruptable power supplies.
OL03 - Hot and chilled water pipework systems
The aim of the module is to prepare engineers for the process of designing a complete pipe-work system for delivering heating or chilled water to terminal units in buildings. These types of system typically distribute heating or cooling water to radiators, fan coil units, chilled beams, radiant panels or chilled ceilings.
OL04 - Low voltage distribution
The module is designed for non-electrical Building Services engineers who now find that they have an increasing need to be able to design electrical distribution schemes, or for those with a more traditional electrical background who wish to apply their knowledge practically to the design of electrical distribution within buildings.
The module covers both the principles and practices of electrical power distribution from the optimum siting of the main electrical intake position through to the choice of power distribution systems and their containment. together with an introduction to the use of essential and non-essential supplies and the possible choices for standby electrical supplies.
OL05 - Heating systems design
Who should study this unit?
The module is primarily intended for junior to intermediate engineers who are being asked to design a heating system for the first time. However, the module is not for the complete beginner. There's an assumption from the outset that the user will have completed a college or university course on mechanical engineering, or possibly a course on building services engineering, and so will have some understanding of the basic fluid dynamic principles that underlie system design. They will also have access to the support of a more senior engineer within their organisation who can guide them on the procedures and protocols for completing design drawings and specification documents.
OL06 - Lighting design
The aim of this module is to give engineers/project managers with little or no lighting design experience a better understanding of, and become confident in, the use of design methods for indoor lighting applications. Also to gain knowledge of the standards and guides used in lighting design and to better understand the Lighting designer/lighting specialist's offered solution.
The module contains not only sections on design, but also complimentary sections on lighting control systems as well as information and instruction with regard to lamp technologies.
The objective of this module is to enable informed choices of luminaires, lamps, lighting controls and designs in accordance with the needs of the end users.
OL01 - Cable Sizing online module
The module is aimed at practicing electrical engineers with some experience of designing distribution and final circuit layouts and who now wish to study the cable sizing process.
