Who needs a TM44 inspection?
The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007 introduced a legal obligation, TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections, on any person or persons who control or manage the operation of an air conditioning system to ensure the system is inspected by the 4th January 2009 for 250kW and larger systems and by the 4th January 2011 for systems between 12kW and 250kW.
To date, we have completed over 1800 TM44 air conditioning inspections for clients in the retail, engineering, banking, education and service sectors across the whole of the UK.
This means that every installation in England and Wales over 12kW must now have an inspection certificate and report in place (with the exception of systems installed after January 2008 which must be inspected within 5 years). The next round of renewals will be due in January 2016 so call to book our TM44 assessor as soon as possible to ensure you get this renewed on time.
Covid19 assessments are now required as part of any assessment of HVAC control and use. The importance of ensuring increased natural air flow and increased air changes is paramount. Whilst conducting TM44’s we will also provide additional guidance on Covid19 control.
