HVAC Legislation
Are you keeping up?
It's Simple
Compliance is a necessity. Clean Air make it easier.
Rules governing HVAC and air quality are changing all the time. They can be hard to keep up with and understand let alone comply with. Especially these days when the quality of air in the world and your workplace is more critical than ever.
Clean Air can help. After all this is our sandpit!
We will help guide you through your responsibilities and with advice on sensible compliance strategies.
Thing is, regulations that help improve air quality, lower carbon emissions, improve building ventilation, will be worth your while. We are not just talking CSR, a happy workplace is a productive workplace.
And a happy planet? Well that trumps everything.

Take a look at the Regulations
Energy Performance Directive Regulations
The Energy Performance Directive (EPBD) aims to reduce carbon emissions by improving energy efficiency. An important requirement is for regular inspections of air conditioning units, the intervals being dependent upon the systems output.
Five year inspections
EPBD legislation now requires a business’s air conditioning systems with a combined output of 12kw or over to be inspected every five years. The inspection report assesses the systems’ efficiency and maintenance, identifies any faults and suggests improvements, which could range from servicing the system and replacing filters to replacing the entire plant.
How Clean can help
We will commission an independent Accredited Air Conditioning Assessor at preferential rates starting from just £565 (plus VAT). We will go through their report and recommendations with you, using our experience and expertise to guide you through any action that is required. If a new air conditioning system is the most sensible investment, we will provide a fully costed proposal and calculate the likely energy and CO2 savings.

The issue of fluorinated greenhouse gases
When it comes to global warming, the effect F-gases (such as HFCs, PFCs and SF6) can be greater than carbon dioxide. EU Regulations of 2006 mean that many commercial, industrial and public sector organisations have legal obligations with regard to management and control of F-gas.
The basics
Since 2007, operators of stationary air conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump equipment have been subject to regulations aimed at reducing fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases). The regulations cover containment, record-keeping, inspection and testing for leakages, and the use of properly certified personnel to recover gases.
How Clean can help
Expert advice is essential. Our HVAC designers will review HVAC equipment, considering efficiency at full load and CO2 emissions and relating them to the Target Emission Rates and Building Emission Rates.

Don’t get caught out by the Part L
Part L regulations can appear daunting. Clean Air can help from the HVAC compliance perspective. Our knowledgeable engineers will be pleased to discuss your particular premises or new build.
What’s it all about?
The EPBD establishes minimum standards of energy efficiency for new cooling and heating equipment; Part L of the Building Regulations enforces many of its requirements, rated according to a system’s type
How Clean can help
Problems can be avoided through expert system design, service and maintenance, which we will provide. We can also audit your system and arrange inspections to ensure you meet your F-gas obligations. Clean Air hold Refcom elite status and our engineers are fully trained to work with refrigerants. We will be able to advise on the actions you may need to take.
