FSG Compliance Services, part of the FSG Group, has introduced this service through the company's dedicated HVAC team.
The inspection offers a turnkey process, providing a survey, recommendations and any necessary remedial action. With 162 operatives working across the UK, FSG Compliance Services has extensive knowledge of statutory regulations - advising clients of their legal responsibilities and providing peace of mind regarding the safe operation of their business outlets.
Ken Passey, Operations Director of FSG Compliance, said: "If a building operates an air-conditioning system then the owner is duty bound by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to instruct an energy inspection to be carried out. "All air conditioning services over 12KW should have been inspected by January 2011.
"The inspection is mandatory and fines may be imposed for organisations that are found to be non-compliant.
"We provide a detailed report on the condition of the system, which will give legal compliance for that building, avoiding legal penalties and also helping to improve environmental credentials for the business."
FSG operates the inspection service in line with the TM44 guidelines set out by the Industry Working Group comprising of ACRIB, BRE, BSRIA, FETA, HVCA, IoR and Summit Skills.
