At Syntegra Consulting we can mobilise our air conditioning inspectors to undertake a survey on any type of commercial building across London and the South of England:
- In response to the EPBD; as of the 1st January, 2008 all new air conditioning installations must be inspected within 5 years
- Existing air conditioning systems with an effective rated output greater than 250kW must be inspected by January 2009
- Existing air conditioning systems greater than 12kW must be inspected before 2011
- These ACI assessments are in addition to the inspections required to meet statutory and duty of care obligations
- The air conditioning inspection is designed to improve efficiency and reduce electricity consumption, operating costs, and carbon emissions. ACI assessments highlight improvements to the operation of the existing installations as well as opportunities to replace older, less efficient and possibly oversized systems with new energy efficient systems
- Air conditioning inspections should be carried out by an Aircon energy assessor at intervals of up to 5 years maximum
Non-compliance with ACI legislation will result in a penalty. The penalty is £300 for failure to commission, keep or provide an air conditioning inspection report when required by the regulatory authority. This is in addition to the cost of a compliant ACI report.
