Salford Quays and MediaCityUK are full of modern, heavily serviced commercial buildings where cooling runs almost all year — studios, production suites, comms rooms and open-plan office floors. Those systems are usually well over the 12kW threshold, so a valid TM44 inspection report is a legal requirement and often a condition of the lease.
Buildings we inspect in Salford
Alongside the Quays, Salford has a large stock of business-park offices, light industrial units and older commercial premises around Eccles, Swinton and Salford city centre where systems have been added piecemeal over the years.
Typical Salford systems: large VRF installations serving multiple floors, close-control cooling in studio and server spaces, cassettes and ducted units in office fit-outs.
Is your Salford building in scope?
If the air conditioning serving the building has a combined effective rated output above 12kW, it must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor at least every five years and the report lodged on the national register. As a rule of thumb, five or six typical office cassettes will already take you past the threshold.
- • Inventory of the air conditioning systems serving the building
- • Assessment of system sizing against the spaces being cooled
- • Review of controls, time schedules and set points
- • Check of maintenance records and evidence of servicing
- • Inspection of accessible plant, filters, coils and pipework condition
- • Identification of obvious refrigerant leakage or performance issues

Report & register lodgement
You receive the TM44 air conditioning inspection report with recommendations, and the report is lodged on the national register so it can be produced on request.

Frequently asked questions
Can you inspect studio and broadcast cooling in Salford?
Yes — we assess close-control and comfort cooling together and note where critical systems need a different maintenance approach from general office cooling.
Do you cover several Salford buildings under one contract?
We do. Multi-site portfolios are inspected on a single programme with one point of contact and consolidated reporting.
What is a TM44 air conditioning inspection?
It's an energy assessment of the air conditioning serving a building, carried out to the CIBSE TM44 methodology by an accredited assessor. It reviews the systems installed, how well they're sized and controlled, and produces recommendations to improve efficiency and reduce running costs.
Is a TM44 inspection a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of more than 12kW must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor at least every five years, and the report lodged on the national register.
How is the 12kW threshold worked out?
It's the combined effective rated output of all the air conditioning systems serving the building, not a single unit. Several smaller splits added over the years can easily total more than 12kW.
How often does the inspection need repeating?
At least every five years. If the systems are altered significantly, a new inspection may be needed sooner.
