Site Assessor

Welcome to the Site Assessment Training brought to you by South West Woodshed. Take your time and work through these seven modules and you will begin to gain an understanding of the issues that need to be addressed when considering a woodfuel boiler.

The training aims to produce a more informed end user/customer who is able to understand the key overall system design and specification features.  It does not replace the need for professional design, installation and consultancy, but is an enabler  for potential customers to research and explore options for successful system installation. 

Individuals wishing to find out more detailed information should read through the Carbon Trust guide Biomass heating: A Practical guide for potential users which serves as the unofficial course book.

As you work through each section you can make online notes on the scratch pad at the foot of each page. The training culminates in the opportunity to utilise the knowledge gained by undertaking a pre-feasibility study for a particular site of your interest using the Carbon Trust Online Calculator and BEAT2 Toolset.

We hope you get the answers you are looking for. Good luck!
