Restaurateurs Save Energy As They Comply With New Regulations
Part of UK Climate Change legislation, Air conditioning Inspections are legally required to be carried out by 4th January 2011. With electricity costs being a significant and rising overhead on restaurants, many businesses are carrying out energy efficiency to cut bills. Roger Lawrie, partner at specialists in energy compliance Envitae, points out that Air conditioning can account for up to 50% of energy consumption and many businesses are unaware that legislation requires systems with cumulative output over 12kW to be independently inspected. This must be carried out by a government approved energy assessor and is additional to any other service or maintenance. Mr Lawrie goes on to say that assessors are finding that inspection reports make recommendations that in most cases will save energy.
It saves businesses who have inspections. The inspection and accompanying report tells operators whether their systems are operating as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. So compliance gives companies a real opportunity to cut costs and increase profits.
It saves the environment, by cutting down excessive energy use and associated carbon emissions.
And it helps the UK towards meeting its statutory carbon dioxide emissions reduction targets.
The aims of the inspection are to:
Provide building owners/operators with information about system performance, and
Identify opportunities to reduce your CO2 emissions and save energy and money
Air conditioning inspections are being used to assist in reducing carbon emissions and limit affects on climate change.
The outcome of an air conditioning inspection will be a report highlighting measures, which if adopted, will have the potential to save energy and money within a reasonable payback period. Our Assessors tell us that they typically identify more savings in the system than the cost of the inspection. Inspection reports will remain valid for five years, after which the air conditioning system will require another inspection.
Inspection of air conditioning under TM44. is additional to any usual air conditioning maintenance, air conditioning repair or servicing and independent of any work normally carried out by air conditioning contractors.
