Air Conditioning World
This is because the demand for air conditioning and airflow usage varies depending on the space and the original specified layout, the numbers of occupants and proximity to air conditioning units. Routine inspections help assess and monitor a building’s need and demand for air conditioning equipment, and thus can provide reassurance for regulating both efficiency and cost.
Inspection reports contain • Information on the current effi- ciency of your equipment. • Suggestions for improving the efficiency of your equipment. • Advice on replacing inefficient equipment and/or refrigerants. • Any faults identified – such as the condition of air filters – and suggested actions. • Information on the adequacy of your equipment maintenance and how to improve it.
• Advice on reducing your need for air conditioning.
Assessors will then take a close look at the control settings and strategy for the system. This includes the day-to-day usage requirements for the building, as well as internal and external tem-
Routine inspections can prove fundamental for ensuring improved performance, efficiency and reliability
perature set points. Quite often it is possible to reduce energy costs significantly by simply recognising and understanding these require- ments and thus adjusting the set- tings to respond only when they are most needed. Paperwork will also be closely looked at to give the advisor a better understanding of the routine care and mainte- nance applied to the VRF system. The principal role of the air conditioning inspection is to improve the overall energy efficiency of a building. The inspection report looks to high- light opportunities for energy improvements, through adjusted
operation, and in some cases, options to upgrade to new energy- efficient systems. By adhering to the advice, the process will improve the building’s EPC rating. Here at Panasonic, improving
energy efficiency, decreasing carbon emissions and reducing
cost is key. We believe that by highlighting the need for mainte- nance and servicing in the form of routine inspections is one route to achieve this.
