What is a CPD?
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential part of staying up to date in the rapidly evolving building services industry. CPD courses provide engineers, consultants, and specifiers with the latest technical knowledge, regulatory updates, and best practices in areas such as HVAC, energy efficiency, and sustainable design.
For building services consultants, CPD is not just about compliance – it’s an opportunity to enhance expertise, improve project outcomes, and stay competitive in an industry that is increasingly focused on energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions. By engaging with CPD sessions, consultants can gain valuable insights into emerging technologies and legislative frameworks, helping them to make informed decisions and future-proof designs.
Cooltherm have worked to develop CPD courses to assist with the ongoing professional development of consultants, contractors and end users. Leveraging our knowledge and experience from 30 years working in HVAC, our courses have been curated to offer insight and expertise on a range of topics – from technology to the rules and regulations dictating modern HVAC design.

Navigating Refrigerant Legislation and Restrictions
For nearly 40 years, the environmental impact of substances used in HVAC have come under particular scrutiny.Refrigerant compounds are quantified using a Global Warming Potential (GWP) metric, showing their potency within the atmosphere compared against Carbon Dioxide as a base. As more and more research has been conducted on the subject, the EU and UK have developed stringent restrictions to limit the effect of these compounds on our planet.
This CPD is designed to provide insight into the current legislation governing the use and deployment of refrigerant gases, the restrictions coming into force over the next decade, and the solutions available to remain environmentally conscious and compliant.
Key Topics:
- What is GWP
- What are F-Gases and how are they regulated
- What are PFAS and how are they regulated?
- How harmful refrigerants are phased out
- Natural Refrigerants as a solution
