Commercial Property managers will be required to produce Energy
Performance Certificates provided by qualified energy assessment
assessors (SAP or SBEM) for Existing and New Build Commercial
Property Units.
Buildings that are subject to survey will be provided with
recommendations for system improvements if required, by the
inspector.
Public Buildings will also require inspection of systems as
part of energy assessment for Display Energy Certificates.
Implementation will start in January 2008, and systems over 250 kW
must be inspected by January 2009. Systems over 12 kW must be
inspected by January 2011. Thereafter inspections must be repeated
within a five years timeframe.

HVAC Systems
The CLG (Communities and Local Government) has stated the
following requirements for commercial applications:
Many commercial buildings and an increasing number of homes have
air conditioning systems. These systems should be carefully
maintained and managed in order that they do not consume too much
energy.We are therefore introducing measures to ensure that larger
air conditioning systems are regularly inspected. Air conditioning
systems where the total system cooling capacity is greater than
12kWr (whether in dwellings or non-dwellings) will be inspected at
intervals not exceeding 5 years. |
The
inspection will include an assessment of efficiency, a review of their
sizing and advice on improvements or replacements and alternative
solutions. Further information relating to Commercial Energy Performance
Certificates for Public Buildings, Institutions, Rented Property, Social

We have compiled an Air Conditioning Inspection
Directory, of regional inspection companies in your local area. Many of
the companies listed can provide services to improve the energy
efficiency of an existing installation, improve your asset rating by
conducting regular checks of your system, and install upgrades to
maintain your equipment in optimum condition. Asset owners may find it
easier to let commercial and industrial units if the their asset has a
better energy rating than a competitor in the commercial lease market.
