Air Conditioning Commissioning & Testing

Introduction to air conditioning commissioning and testing.

We provide your business with a TM44 Inspection. What is this? Since January 4th 2011, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive  (EPBD) has required the TM44 regulations inspection of air conditioning systems in buildings with a cooling capacity over 12kW

A TM44 inspection, or survey, is an assessment a buildings air conditioning systems. Their primary purpose was to help businesses improve the efficiency of their buildings. More specifically, reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions and operating costs associated with their AC system.

They are required for all buildings where the air conditioning systems combined output is equal to 12kW or more.

The TM44 Inspection is a legal requirement.

It must be completed by an independent, accredited assessor and a copy of the certificate should be kept on site.

Compliance with the regulation is enforced by local trading standards authorities. Failure to produce a valid certificate upon request is an offence that could result in monetary fines. These are repeatable until an inspection has taken place and a valid certificate is issued.
