Course overview
This course provides delegates with understanding of the capability and features of WRc’s TR61 software, or 'Cost Information for Water Supply and Sewage Disposal Technical Report 61’.
The software allows up-to-date estimates of capital (CAPEX), operating (OPEX) and whole life costs, and estimates of embodied (building) and operational carbon emissions, with their monetary equivalents, in a manner consistent with Ofwat’s requirements.
Who can benefit?
With the TR61 software being updated every few years, and as new companies join the collaborative development project and new members of staff join those companies that have already signed-up, there is a need for training to ensure every new user understands the principles behind the software and knows how to use it to its full potential.
Training outline
Delegates will have guided familiarisation of with the latest version of TR61 including new features and full capabilities, followed by hands-on experience of CAPEX and OPEX models. This will enable learners to:
- Benchmark against company-own models
- Optioneer for cost & carbon optimisation
- Provide cost & carbon data for assets that company has no data on
- Plan for investment
- Complete asset valuation
