The course is intended to provide those attending with a basic understanding of how DEAP works and how DEAP is used as a Part L compliance tool with particular focus on Part L requirements for
• Whole dwelling performance (MPEPC / MPCPC targets)

Upon completion of this one day course, participants will:
• have a basic understanding of the theory underpinning the DEAP BER calculation method
• be familiar with the DEAP 3.2.1 software and the DEAP 3.2.1 manual
• Understand the 2011 Part L requirements for new & existing dwellings and how these are included in DEAP
• Understand how to use DEAP as a Part L compliance tool
• Have gained practical experience of:
-inputting sample dwelling values into DEAP
-entering renewable technology values into DEAP
-looking at the options for achieving whole dwelling performance compliance

Project Supervisor Design Process is an intensive two day programme designed specifically for professionals in the field of architecture delivered by the RIAI, in partnership with Scott MacNeill Architects and SBD Safety By Design. The programme includes, on successful completion of the two days and an assessment, accreditation by the RIAI as a trained Project Supervisor Design Process. This is an intense and interactive course from start to finish with involvement from participants in workshops and discussions.
The HSA has attended the course and reviewed the materials presented and has supported the approach taken by the RIAI/Scott Mac Neill/Safety By Design.
NOTE: The programme is based on participants having an existing level of knowledge of health and safety in design. The RIAI therefore strongly recommends that architects working in a design capacity on any scale of project should complete the Safety by Design course in advance of attending the RIAI accredited PSDP course.
Attendees receive comprehensive handouts each day:
Day 1 - Handouts include the power point presentation and background information on fulfilling the role of PSDP and the duties of others, an ideal reference for the future.
Day 2 - Handouts include the PowerPoint presentation and an introduction to a ten part management system for the undertaking of the role of PSDP. Handouts include section by section guidance notes and working templates of critical documents and forms. These templates and forms are made available on disc to all candidates on successful completion of the examination.
