This one-day training course will provide you with the understanding of how to undertake required inspections of simple and complex air conditioning systems, according to the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007. This course will cover the requirements set out within CIBSE’s Technical Memorandum: Inspection of Air Conditioning Systems (TM44) and the National Occupational Standards for Air Conditioning.
For more information about Air Conditioning Inspections and the process of becoming a certified Low Carbon Energy Assessor (LCEA) - Air Conditioning Inspector, please see the "Need to Know" section.
We encourage all of our delegates to make yourself aware of the registration procedures outlined on the CIBSE Certification website in advance of the training course.

On completion of the course you will:
- Be able to produce Air Conditioning Energy Assessments to satisfy the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

Individuals that would like to be able to produce Air Conditioning Inspection Reports for clients to be compliant with the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations will need to apply to be on a Government approved register.
CIBSE Certification operates such a register and individuals with at least 2 years of relevant experience in the last 5 years can apply through the Approval of Prior Experiential & Learning (APEL) route to be certified and placed on the register. For details on how to apply go to the CIBSE Certification website.
This course is not mandatory for the APEL route but will exempt you from completing some sections of the APEL application.
If you are hoping to certify as an Air Conditioning Inspector (ACI) it is important that you complete pre-APEL, before you complete a training course.
