All UK buildings with air conditioning systems
that have a capacity of over 12kW should have been inspected for energy
efficiency by 4 January 2011.
Apart from the potential penalties companies face they are almost certainly paying higher energy bills by failing to have their systems inspected by experts who can advise on efficiency improvements.
Under the regulations all air conditioning systems with a cooling capacity over 12kW must be inspected.
Rod Pettigrew, deputy chief executive of the HVCA, commented: "non-compliance has a real cost; it costs the environment, it will cost the UK and chance of meeting its emissions targets and it costs companies the opportunity to lower their costs - and in the difficult trading conditions being experienced by most bus in esse that must be sufficient incentive alone.
Its worth emphasizing that the inspection is not just a tick box excercise; it gives building owners and managers useful information about how their systems are running and how they could be improved both to reduce harmful carbon emissions and save them money on their energy bills."
