TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection (ACI) & Air Conditioning Energy Assessment

A TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection assesses the energy performance and operation of air conditioning systems in commercial and other qualifying buildings. Regular inspection can help identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and address system performance issues.

Our qualified assessors undertake TM44 inspections and provide the documentation required for compliance.

Air Conditioning System Inspection

The inspection considers the condition and operation of the air conditioning system, including controls, maintenance and overall efficiency.

We identify areas where system performance could be improved and provide practical recommendations appropriate to the building and equipment.

TM44 Compliance

The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations require qualifying air conditioning systems to undergo periodic inspection by an appropriately qualified energy assessor.

The inspection frequency depends on the system’s rated output and the applicable regulatory requirements.

Energy Efficiency Improvements

An air conditioning inspection can identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption through improved controls, maintenance, system settings and operational practices.

Where more substantial improvements are appropriate, the report can provide a basis for further investigation.

Commercial Building Services

Air conditioning can represent a significant component of energy use within commercial buildings. Regular assessment helps building owners and facilities teams understand how systems are operating and whether efficiency improvements are available.

Clear Reporting

Following the inspection, we provide a clear report documenting the system, findings and recommendations. This gives building owners and operators practical information for ongoing energy and compliance management.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is a TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection (ACI)?

A TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection (ACI) is a statutory requirement in the UK for commercial buildings. It involves assessing the efficiency of air conditioning systems, their controls, and maintenance requirements to ensure compliance with regulations. The inspection aims to identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

2 Who needs a TM44 inspection and why is it required?

Commercial building owners and facility managers in the UK are required to have TM44 inspections for air conditioning systems with a total effective rated output of more than 12kW. This inspection is mandatory for UK compliance, ensuring systems operate efficiently and meet legal obligations. It helps identify potential energy savings and environmental benefits.

3 What does a TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection involve?

A TM44 inspection assesses the operational efficiency of your air conditioning systems, including their controls and any associated documentation. The inspection evaluates the system's current performance, identifies potential faults or inefficiencies, and provides recommendations for improvements in maintenance and operation. This helps optimize energy consumption and system longevity.

4 How often are TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections required?

TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections are required every five years for applicable commercial buildings in the UK. Regular inspections ensure ongoing compliance with energy performance regulations and help maintain the efficiency of your air conditioning systems over time. This periodic assessment helps identify and address issues before they lead to significant energy waste or breakdowns.
