What is a TM44 air conditioning system inspection?
TM44 is the UK's standard for determining the effectiveness and efficiency of air conditioning units. The guidance is primarily intended to support inspections that are carried out for compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) but is also useful to anyone who wishes to assess the energy efficiency of an air conditioning system.
If you control an air conditioning system that is covered by the legislation then you are responsible for ensuring an inspection has been completed and you have a copy of the inspection report. TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections are mandatory for all buildings with a cooling capacity of 12kW and above, with Inspection Reports to be updated every 5 years.
How can Trident help you?
Inspections must be completed by an accredited Air Conditioning Inspector. Our TM44 inspection and reporting service is delivered by our team of specialist energy assessors, who are all fully accredited through CIBSE.
Our service includes:
- A visual assessment of your air conditioning system.
- An inspection of system components, controls (BEMS), and settings.
- A summary of potential efficiency improvements and recommendations within the inspection report.
We present our findings of the inspection within the report. Reports will include various recommendations based on the efficiency of your air conditioning units.
What are the legal requirements?
If the air conditioning systems within your premises have a combined cooling output of 12kW or more, you need a TM44 Inspection.
Failing to comply with TM44 regulation is punishable by a fixed penalty fine of £300, which can be repeated weekly until a valid certificate is in place.
How often should I carry out TM44 inspections?
TM44 Inspections should be carried out every 5 years, so the Inspection Reports are up to date.
New air conditioning systems that were installed less than 5 years ago will not require inspection until their fifth anniversary.
