Is your office or factory air-conditioned? Then you will need an air conditioning inspection.
Air conditioning systems use up a lot of energy – up to 50% of a building’s output in some cases. That’s why the new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) specifically targets it. A ‘system’ includes all the equipment in a building which controls or lowers temperature – whether it’s one unit or several smaller ones…
As of 4 January 2009 air-conditioned buildings with equipment using more than 250kW should have had their first air con inspection. Download this guide to know all you need to about air conditioning inspections. If your building has not been certified yet, we can ensure you comply quickly.
According to the latest update in legislation, by 4 January 2011 all air conditioning systems over 12kW must have had their first inspection.
Tempted not to bother? Ignoring the air conditioning inspection won’t make it go away. Fail to comply and your company faces penalties which could result in fines.
And just who is responsible for getting EPBD air conditioning inspections done? It’s the person who controls the operation of the air conditioning system, not the person who just changes the temperature dial. This could be the owner, a facilities manager, a servicing company or a tenant, should the building be rented out.
The good news? The goal of all new green legislation is twofold: to reduce your company’s carbon output, which is better for the environment, and save your business money. That is the essence of the legislation – highlight shortcomings, praise efficiency and recommend changes and updates that will save energy and thus money.
