Air Conditioning Energy Assessment Terms and Conditions

1 Introduction

1.1 We understand this is for the preparation of Air conditioning reports for various properties, within the United Kingdom.

1.2 Our services include the co-ordination, management, surveying and report writing for each of the locations being surveyed having fixed air conditioning equipment capacities of between 12-250kw. These reports must be concluded by 4 January 2011.

This competence ensures our engineers are accredited and have the experience necessary to undertake survey’s complying with CIBSE Technical Memorandum TM44 (2007).

2 Survey Scope & Methodology

2.1 The key to our success in delivering these services is our ability to establish standard protocols for surveys and the conversion of information into final report formats, efficiently and professionally.

Each commission will be supported by the appropriate number of staff depending on the quantity in question. One member of staff will be office based to receive raw data from the qualified inspectors undertaking the services.

These will be e-mailed from site and lodged with our chosen QA assessors as required under the guidelines. The report will then be released to the Client.

2.4 The office administrator will operate a 2 week lead in diary system in which each location will be notified of our inspectors visit and then again one day before the visit. During this communication a pro forma site survey sheet will be completed to ensure our engineers arrive with the correct equipment. This will include, amongst other things, details of access to plant rooms, landlord keys, and access to external plant and associated restrictions to our survey. This stage is important as it makes our requirements transparent to each location and allows staff to be fully aware of what is needed prior to us attending.

2.5 This diary management (including route planning software) will be linked to the inspectors, so that cancellations can be dealt with without significant disruption.

2.6 Should our Client prefer to establish an http server we will be able to lodge our reports directly to your server to avoid unnecessary printing and postage costs.
