TM44 Services & Information
What is a TM44 inspection?
TM44 Inspections
A TM44 inspection is a mandatory assessment of air conditioning systems with a combined cooling capacity of over 12kW. The inspection reviews the efficiency of your system providing recommendations to reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
What is the overall purpose?
The regulations implement the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to improve building energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions across Europe.
Why do you need an inspection?
TM44 air conditioning inspections are a legal requirement in the UK under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 and, in Scotland, the Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2008.
