Air-conditioning systems can account for a large percentage of a building's energy usage. Having regular inspections carried out by a qualified assessor can improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. As energy costs are rising for many businesses, anything that leads to efficient energy use can save money, save energy, save carbon and therefore assist in keeping the business competitive.

TM44 Regulations

TM44 regulations require regular mandatory inspections of all air conditioning systems with rated outputs of over 12kw at intervals not exceeding 5 years. This includes the combined output of one or more individual air conditioning units in a building.

The person responsible for the technical functioning of the air conditioning system must ensure that an air conditioning energy assessment has been carried out.

Local authorities (usually by their Trading Standards Officers) are responsible for enforcing the requirements relating to air-conditioning inspection reports. Failure to commission, keep or provide an air-conditioning inspection report when required by the regulations means you may be issued with a penalty charge notice. Trading Standards Officers may act on complaints or undertake investigations.

The primary aims of the inspections are to:

• Give building owners and operators information about the performance of their buildings and plant
• To identify opportunities to save energy and cut operating costs.
