Air Conditioning Inspections
The EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) set a new requirement for air conditioning inspections.
The timeline of compliance varies depending on the size of the system. By 4th January 2009 all systems over 250kW were supposed to have received a first inspection - by 4th January 2011 all systems over 12kW must have an inspection. This applies to any installation whether it resides in a commercial, residential or public building. This inspection must be performed every 5 years.
The inspection report (AC-REPORT) and certificate (AC-CERT) must then be lodged at the Landmark registery.Trading standards now have powers to impose heavy fines on non compliance, and so the introduction of a registered certificate means that many property owners can no longer ignore the requirement.
CIBSE Accredited Professionals
Our inspectors are CIBSE (Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers)accredited professionals with vast experience of working with complex air conditioning systems. Paying to have an inspection is an unavoidable legal requirement - but with a CIBSE accredited inspector the service you receive will be of real value to your business.
Our CIBSE inspectors are experts who do more than simply count units - they produce tailored recommendations reports to help you cut the energy costs and carbon emissions of your air conditioning systems.
What Level?
Build Energy can provide assessment for both level 3 and 4 systems. Level 3 assessments will cover all unitary, simple and multi split packaged and simple VRF/VRV air conditioning plants, equipment and systems.
