The SEAM Centre

The SEAM Centre is a new training, information and research facility for Sustainable Energy And Micro-renewables based at Inverness College UHI.  It provides short course training for qualified plumbers and electricians to give them the skills required to install small-scale renewable energy systems as well as sustainable energy technology.

A BPEC course for the installation of Solar Domestic Hot Water is currently available. The centre is in the process of being developed and equipped to enable us to deliver a wide range of further courses, which will shortly be available. These will include subjects such as:-

• Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps
• Biomass Boilers (using logs, wood chip and pellets)
• Underfloor Heating
• Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
• Wind Turbines
• Rainwater Harvesting

We are also keeping an eye on new technology developments such as fuel cells and domestic combined heat and power (CHP) to ensure we can supply appropriate training as these become more widespread.
